Through the Eyes of Rachel Marker
Exhibition Brochure by Alla Efimova, 2013
Exhibition brochure to accompany Through the Eyes of Rachel Marker: A Literary Installation by Moira Roth, The Magnes, January 22-June 28, 2013. A multi-media installation based on a literary project by Moira Roth, a leading international voice in feminism, performance and contemporary art. For over ten years, writer and art historian Moira Roth has been creating a fragmented narrative about a fictional Czech Jew, Rachel Marker. Through the Eyes of Rachel Marker has been presented in different forms, including published texts, plays, and performances. Now for the first time, the project takes the form of a multi-media museum installation. Curated by The Magnes Director, Alla Efimova, it oscillates between history, fiction, and biography.
