The Books

"The fictional creative space Lilach Bar-Ami creates is actually the drive and motivation to the cutting and emptying of books' contents. Bar-Ami worked during the day in publishing in order to make living, and every night she cut informational books and encyclopedias that included many years of knowledge, recognized and seen as legitimate in every home. By the act of emptying, the artist expropriates the importance of books in the digital era, where every click on Google floods the user with a massive amount of databases and images. The motif leading Bar-Ami is the woods-keeper (alter ego of the artist) sitting on the tower in the forest and keeping it from boars, so that they do not erode the roots of the trees." (Nitza Perry 2011)
