A fully bilingual (Japanese / English) catalogue for an exhibition
of Gil Yefman, entitled "H," at The Container in Tokyo
(www.the-container.com) The catalogue explores through writings and
images the relation between sexuality and WWII and focuses on Block
24, an isolated unit in the concentration camp of Auschwitz that
was used as a brothel, forcing female workers into sex-slavery. Gil
Yefman is an Israeli artist exploring gender, sexuality, religion
and the collective Jewish memory through a wide range of
disciplines. His main medium of work is knitting, which he uses to
produce complex, colourful, and child-like sculptures. His works
are amusing and fun-like, while secreting potent and unforgiving
themes. He has exhibited extensively in Israel and abroad. "H" is
his debut exhibition in Japan. The Container, as the name suggests,
is no more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm),
inside Bross hair salon in trendy Nakameguro, Tokyo. The Container,
the brainchild of Tokyo-based curator Shai Ohayon, invites Japanese
and international artists to make site-specific installations four
times a year. Each installation remains on view to the public for
two-and-a-half months.
