The House of Life

Grantees
Hadassa Goldvicht
Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, Italy
May 9–November 26, 2017
Exhibition Grant

The House of Life (2013–17) was created over the course of an extensive investigation where Goldvicht filmed dozen of hours of conversations with the members of the Jewish community in Venice and particularly with 86-year-old Aldo Izzo, the keeper of the ancient Jewish cemetery in Venice. The exhibition included a video reconstruction of the cemetery and fragments of the conversations with community members collected through the years. The cemetery acts as an allegory of Venice at large, with its beautiful facades hiding the financial and social conditions of the city itself.
