The project comprises seven images printed on copper plates, a glass sculpture, and a poetic text – a dialogue between an adult and a child. The project explores the transformation of identity through family archive and childhood memories.

Like a caring curtain, the blanket sets apart and obscures, so that you don’t see too much. Caring is like parental swaddling: we’re all covered by a bunch of blankets so that we do not fear the burning earth.

Look over there and it’s scary, look the other way and it’s not. A way to swaddle matter and state.

— It was she who was bitten by Lilith *!

If a child is laughing in her dream on a moonlit night you must tickle her under the nose to ward off Lilith.

— It was she who didn’t get the lilac sphere **!

As layers peel off, the hidden is revealed behind the familiar. You get what you get. And in the end it’s just a bunch of messed up children wrapped in burnt blankets.

The truth revives the Golem.

*Lilith in Jewish mythology is the first wife of Adam. Created at the same time and from the same substance as Adam, Lilith refused to submit to her husband. For this she was severely punished and turned into a demon. In contemporary interpretations, her refusal to obey makes Lilith an important feminist figure, embodying freedom of choice.

**“The Lilac Sphere” is a science fiction story by Kir Bulychev, according to which a lilac sphere was once left on Earth and hidden; it contains a virus of absolute malice. If or when it breaks, all living beings will destroy one another, preparing the planet for cosmic invaders.
