"Under The Surface " (Photo und Videoart): Maya Cohen Levy /Israel
galerie december
Zitat aus dem Ausstellungstext von Prof. Dr. M. Zuckermann:
Maya Cohen-Levys Werke sind schön, zum Teil auch betörend schön und zwar auch dort, wo das Sujet des Werks alles andere als schön, ja nachgerade häßlich oder grauenvoll ist.
Hat man es hier also mit einer unannehmbaren Diskrepanz zwischen Form und Inhalt, mit einem unzulänglichen Widerspruch zwischen "Bösem" und seiner anmutigen Repräsentation zu tun? In gewisser Hinsicht kann dies durchaus behauptet werden ...
