Exhibition Details
Mere Things includes selections of work by Azoulay (Israeli, b. 1972; lives and works in Berlin) from 2010 to the present, featuring large scale digital photocollages of archival objects that explore how images and objects transmit knowledge, shape memory, and support or undermine historical narratives. The presentation features a new work that responds to the collections and context of the Jewish Museum.
Additional Details
The works on view combine photomontage with sculptural and sound elements to magnify different aspects of object histories and introduce imaginative and speculative frameworks that expose the ways in which objects can embody multiple, shifting meanings.
