Project Grant

Counterlight is a private exploration of the mind and spirit of Jewish poet and holocaust survivor Paul Celan (1920–1970). Zack’s video, focused on a female archivist who is listening to extracts from original recordings by the poet, creates a surreal journey into the past, into memory, and into/through Celan’s writing processes. Counterlight was presented in a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2016.
