Michal Shachnai | A Wandering Jew
Michal Shachnai , a multidisciplinary artist and curator. In her works, Shachnai uses by means of installation sculpture or video to investigate the ways in which the Israeli collective memory is shaped via motion, language, choral song, space and momentum, and material culture. Her creative work is the outgrowth of her biography as the product of a kibbutz and a bereaved daughter. The resulting art emerges from a place of consciousness to a physical space fraught with meanings and collective Zionist national values, on the one hand, and the sense of emptiness that came later pursuant to their collapse, on the other.
