Haya Graetz Ran Presents her Backgammon Box
 |
WerstlersBackgammon is considered as a masculine game.
On its wooden surface I "implanted" drawings of wrestling men inspired by series of wrestling maneuvers I found on an old German encyclopedia of the 1930s . The allegedly innocent paintings, are intertwined with the collective memory referring to this people who raised human monsters and also referring to what we experience here in the Middle-East, aiming to raise questions and reflections about the future of the human society. |
