Itamar Jobani: Wounded Topographies

January 24, 2009—February 28, 2009

Blending mythologies from multiple traditions, Itamar Jobani always arrives at a conclusion uniquely his own. Adapting the technique of building topographic models to depict the human body, the very foundation of Jobani’s work speaks to the deep confluence between bodies of land and the bodies of men. Indeed in the Hebrew translation, the words for land (adama) and men (adam) are very similar. Jobani’s installation Blood, Men, Earth explores this basic connection between the words as well as the larger idea of the land taking on the pain and suffering of mankind.
