About the “Tallit Project”

The “Tallit project” was conceived as a continuous photographic documentation of places of the artist’s origin. The “Tallit” (from Hebrew) is worn almost exclusively during prayer and represents a “shelter” for the soul or “a curtain that stretches out to the heavens” and plays an integral part in Jewish religious practice. While other Jewish garments might be treated more casually, the Tallit holds a special personal significance and is generally used for many years or even for a lifetime and is never discarded. The Tallit is treated with great respect, as though it possesses a mantle of holiness.  Having grown up in a Poland stripped almost entirely of its Jewish community, the artist went on a series of trips to revisit her homeland, rediscover her past and to commune with her ancestors. In this tribute to the artist’s lost family, “Tallit project” grew out of the search for life and the recognition of its tangible, unforgettable qualities.

 All the photographs are based on photographic fiber paper prints that are then multi bleached and toned, giving each image a unique appearance.
