Jüdisches Museum München Family Files

Sixteen artists, sixteen families, sixteen "albums." Each album encapsulates a family's whole life. Before the viewer's eyes, their private world unfolds, as seen through the artist's lens. The cumulative effect is like embarking on a visual, anthropological journey to the heart of what family means, as the first point of reference in our lives. Instead of words, the artists use pictures to tell a story. Human bonds and aesthetic ties, anecdotes from the annals of family history, incidents and relationships: some are depicted in a vivid documentary style, others more as a fictional enactment. The book Family Files – Contemporary Photography and Video Art from Israel provides a glimpse of contemporary Israeli photography and of video art that focuses on a dialogue with images of personal and collective memory. Artists: Reli Avrahami, Raed Bawayah, Noa Ben Nun Melamed, Elinor Carucci, Oded Hirsch, Erez Israeli, Vardi Kahana, Tomer Kep, Felix Kris, Roni Lahav, Noa Sadka, Tal Shochat, Boaz Tal, Nurit Yarden, Galia Gur Zeev, Itay Ziv.
