(This is part of a full series of works)

The exhibition Notes concerning the past juxtaposes photographs of visual artist Reli Avrahami (Israel, 1960) with works of Armando (Amsterdam, 1929). Avrahami and Armando are similarly focused on issues related to memory, such as the erosion of matter, the desire for closure, the constructed nature of the narrative, the instability of historical truth, and the working through of trauma in art. Both artists leave on personal notes on their photographs, they ‘add’ information to the viewer to understand better and to make the past present again.
