Yishai Judisman

In the series Prussian Blue, Yishai Jusidman delves into the visual memory of the Holocaust and the limits of its representation. Jusidman reviews photographic images of Nazi concentration camps and gas chambers, resignifying them in the process of painting by turning them blue - a chemically identical color to the blue stains that appeared on the gas chamber walls, residue from Zyklon B. the poison used by the Nazis.
The artist experiments with the technique's possibilities and questions the complex balance between illusion and materiality that characterizes all painting.
