CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
Thanks a lot for your time and for sharing your thoughts, Tali. Finally, would you like to tell our readers something about your future projects? How do you see your work evolving?
My next work will explore the concept of alienation or foreignness as a means of“ fleeing” a reality that is difficult to cope with. I began working on this while contemplating what it means to be a stranger in a strange land that one was not born in. For me, a Jew born in Israel, this is an especially complex issue. So I am thinking about my connection to Israel as well as the connection that Jews in the Diaspora have to Israel. Zionism introduced the concept of the new Jew over a century ago. Does the new Jew of today reside in the Diaspora while enjoying the support of a Jewish state? I also am processing the feeling of being in another country. It is interesting to create in a different place. Doing so connects me to artists who created in a place that was not theirs, like Milan Kundera, who wrote in France. So I am not only thinking about Israel, but also about the universal connection of a person to a land.
