5 channel, stop motion animation, 00:06:30, 2024 This site-specific work includes a series of stop motion animations that interact with objects from the Amsterdam museum archive. At the center of the installation lays a 18th century book, "Tsenerene," known as the Yiddish bible for women. Intimately connected with the rise of press capitalism, the book was read by millions of women for generations and is still very popular among orthodox Jewish women. And yet, there is hardly any discussion of it as a foundational text. The stop motion brings to the space the voices of its readers and is used as a tool to imagine their collective presence. The figures in the animations are composed from texts taken from several Tsenerene editions, indicating a chain of transmission that stretches from 17th c. Amsterdam to 21st c. New York and invites reflection on the relation between the non-material digital art and the concrete archival object that inspired it.
