Mere Things
Ilit Azoulay. Vitrine No. 4: (Take, for instance, this) true story, 2017. Inkjet print, gold leaf. 142 x 120 cm. Courtesy of the artist, Lohaus Sominsky Gallery, and Braverman Gallery.

Initially trained in photography, Ilit Azoulay (Israeli, b. 1972) has developed an interdisciplinary, research-based practice that explores how images and objects shape memory, produce knowledge, and support or undermine historical narratives. She deploys the disruptive strategies of photomontage—manipulating scale, perspective, and context—along with sound and sculptural elements to recast both prosaic and precious objects in new roles. The exhibition will include selections from 2011 to the present, including new work that responds specifically to the collections and context of the Jewish Museum.
