On November 16, 1940, the Warsaw ghetto was closed. 80 years ago, the city was divided into two parts by a wall. Jews trapped in the ghetto were separated from information, their relatives, verdure, trees or the view of the sky to the horizon. The exhibition „Where Art Thou? Gen 3:9” symbolically refers to this moment.
Instead of a typical chronological and factual narrative, we propose a different approach, in which we try to bring the audience closer to the emotional and existential borderline states experienced by hundreds of thousands of people crammed into the „Jewish residential district”.
The exhibition space has been divided into eleven positions representing states or feelings such as uncertainty, fear, hunger, timelessness, intimacy, compassion or faith, marking the burden of life and death in the Warsaw Ghetto.
