Regarding this project, the artist states: „The point of departure for this exhibition is personal: It is dedicated to my father. At the same time the exhibition renders homage to simplicity, humility, and humaneness.” Full artist statement attached on the page of the event.
Art critic Frauke Dettmer states about Anat Manor: „In many ways Anat Manor is a traveler between different worlds. Born and raised in Israel, she has been living in Berlin for some time now. Romania is also close to her – being her father’s country of origin – and this exhibition is dedicated to him. Three different topographies, cultures and mentalities shape and inspire her and challenge her.” Full text attached on the page of the event.
