In Forget & Remember, Gil & Moti take you through the stories of and about the protagonists of the exhibition: Gil's father Yitzhak and Moti's mother Naomi, and their very different collections. Gil's father has a collection of everyday objects that he uses himself or found on the street. Moti's mother's collection consists of paintings by famous Israeli immigrant artists from the period 1930-1970. By highlighting in text and image elements from both collections Gil & Moti portray the complexity of their own identity and of their native Israel. Using the stories of their parents, the artists explore the relationship between personal, subjective memories and collective memory.
