WHERE: On view in Marquand Mather Court, Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton Make time in your visit to experience the collaborative 2009 video Zeide Isaac in the Museum's contemporary gallery. In this touching work, Alejandro Cesarco's zeide ("grandfather" in Yiddish)—a Holocaust survivor—performs for the artist's camera, reading from a script prepared by his grandson. Rather than detailing his grandfather's personal experience during the 1930s, Cesarco highlights the gap between event and recollection, reflecting on the vagaries of memory and the imperfect reconstruction of past events in the present. Above: Alejandro Cesarco, Uruguayan, born 1975, based in the United States: Zeide Isaac, 2009. 16mm film transferred to digi-beta; duration: 5 minutes, 45 seconds. Museum purchase, Fowler McCormick, Class of 1921, Fund (2010-16). |
