Oil/Water—Mother/Daughter: Video and Photography by Mor Arkadir
Mor Arkadir’s works Oil, Water (2005) and Overlap (2004) explore the intersection between the artist’s secular world and her mother’s religious observance.
The documentary film Oil, Water (2005) and photograph Overlap (2004) by Mor Arkadir, winner of the 2005 Adi Prize for Jewish Expression in Art and Design, explore the intersection between the artist’s secular world and her mother’s religious observance. Oil, Water is a 14-minute film depicting a 24-hour road trip in which mother and daughter confront generational differences, conflicting belief systems, and engine troubles. Arkadir’s portrait Overlap depicts a microcosm of Israeli society that is at once diverse and contradictory.
