Amos Gitaï

Amos Gitaï’s multimedia installation represents different ethnicities, languages, musical traditions, and generations, brought together to reveal complex memories of the past and the possibility of envisioning a peaceful future coexistence. The installations tell the story of a house in West Jerusalem, spanning a quarter of a century, sharing the stories of its successive occupants. The stories woven into this installation through projection come from a trilogy by Amos Gitaï that has been documented over twenty-five years. New research is premiered, including photographs of the house in 2023 showing how it has evolved. Through this installation, Amos Gitaï returns to the site of the house, allowing the exhibit to not just tell the history of House but also to become the site of an artistic dialogue between past and present experiences that imagine a new future for the region.
