Postmodern Jewish exhibition
One of my favorite things is art, especially since it concerns me.
I grew up in a group of Orthodox Jews for a long time. I am very attached to this world.
A good friend of mine who studied among completely atheist people (he himself is religious) invited me to be impressed by his exhibition on Judaism - I will add a few words to each picture from my angle and from the angle of the artist.
In this picture one can see the dissonance between Orthodox Judaism, which tries to be different from the rest of the external and modern world, from Western movies, fashionable clothes, articles by non-Orthodox Jews or anything connected to the outside world,
On the other hand, people stand with three-dimensional glasses, it emphasizes two main things,
- Their desire to be part of the world of cinema, to see new things
- Following the entrance of the media and smartphones to the ultra-Orthodox world, they see a third dimension that they have not seen yet, not all black or white(like what they wear), there is something else.
You can see their curious faces, you can say that they also intrigue us (me at least)
What their way of life, what they see every day.
Another thing that the artist tried to emphasize is that only the glasses are colorful, the life in Orthodox religious society is very black or white, or you are there or you are not, all of the same production line.
This reminds me of a drop (of course I do not compare!) To the girl with the red dress in the movie "Schindler's List"
That between all hell and bereavement there is some color.
pay attention!
No one takes off his hat in the middle he sees the movie!
The artist tries to emphasize the suspicion of anything new in the ultra-Orthodox world. It all starts out of awe of God, the hat they wear symbolizes the fear of God, and that everyone should look through the glasses of faith in God.
The conflict is that they look at the new world with other glasses.
We will talk about the following in the exhibition in the following sections
