M I T B A R B E R O T by Anat Grigorio & Michal Herman

The meaning of the Hebrew word „Mitbarberot“: to get lost along the way while turning in several ways without reaching the goal.

 

„And throw away with the cymbals of the sea all their sins“ (Micah 7:19).

 

It's time to toss and throw away. Shake off. Because enough is enough. We choose to separate, to discard previous works, thoughts, personas, the performative, the expected, the unexpected, the connections, the effort, the ambition, the image, the object, the subject, the body, the body-to-body, the breath, the effort, the rest. What's left? Perhaps just the projection itself. Within episodes of indulgence, we allow ourselves to fantasize, surrender, be swans, give up and reinvent ourselves clinging to each other and our fragile islands of loss.
