Abstract

Ori Gersht’s new exhibition at IWM in London faces the subjects of violence and suffering in the Second World War. There are a series of photographs taken at memorials for Kamikaze soldiers at Hiroshima and two videos. One video is dedicated to the last journey Walter Benjamin took trying to cross the Spanish border and the other one is about a survival of Holocaust.
