Crystal Glass Migration
mixed media, jam, DHL delivery service, 2012
A callaboration with Milack Knebel and Anda Rotenberg.
In the spring of 2012 I was invited to create a piece for an exhibition in Nowy Sacz together with the filmaker Milek Knebel.
The Knebel family ran away from their home in Nowy sacz in 1939 leaving all their belongings behind. When they arrived to their place of hiding in Siberia they received a package from a former neighbor, containing a crystal dish from their home in Nowy Sacz, protected in a box full of jam so they would have food as well.
For the exhibition I recreated the box, following Milek’s memory of its textures and colors and re-sent the exact replica to the gallery in Nowy Sacz.
As it is prohibited to send such a package in the mail the package was accompanied by the story of the family described in the air bill so every person approving its content, would read the story of the family.
Surprisingly, after dozens of stops throughout Europe the package arrived back to Nowy Sacz.
