Title: Projections: A Monument to Personal Memory.
Description: Vancouver, Holocaust Education Centre, 2011. In Projections: A Monument to Personal Memory, Ian explores memory and post-memory ? the Second Generation?s relationship to the Holocaust ? through drawing, video, photography and sculpture. Portraits of elderly women composed of drawings overlaid with video testimony consider how individuals affected by traumatic events project their past in the present. A companion piece composed of family photographs transformed with wax from melted Shabbat candles addresses the complexity of heritage, ritual and remembrance. Ian's monument - consisting of two distinct but interrelated installations, the surrounding space punctured by sculptures of parchment paper - suggests a mode of exhibition and commemoration in which the historical and archival, as well as the personal and familiar, are essential for understanding. Cond.: zeer goed / very good.
