Ilit Azoulay - Facts and Tales - Truth Be Told

By Shira Backer

In an era in which multiple perspectives and oral histories are increasingly vital, Facts and Tales-- Truth Be Told delves into the haunting work of Ilit Azoulay (b. Jaffa, 1972). The artist transforms objects, archives, and museum holdings into vessels, challenging traditional hierarchies of knowledge. The publication accompanying her solo exhibition, Mere Things at the Jewish Museum, New York, includes archival pages, the artist's notes, depictions of the works, as well as texts by curator Shira Backer and the art critic Sarit Shapira, who passed away in 2018. The catalog, designed as a box containing 6 different publications, aims to dismantle established narratives and open up diverse perspectives. The publication is a limited edition of 500 copies.
