Throughout her artistic practice Yael Bartana has dealt with the imagery of identity and the politics of memory. This work is inspired by the Jewish ritual of “Tashlich”, for which pockets and clothes are shaken out on the banks of rivers or the shores of lakes or oceans to ask for forgiveness of sins. Bartana extends this ritual of a symbolic disposal of objects for personal spiritual cleansing to a collective, historical (sub)conscious: soldiers’ coats, bibles, glasses or menorah stand for personal histories and social structures that have to be overcome in order to free oneself.
–

Yael Bartanas Film 'Tashlikh (Cast Off)' ist inspiriert vom jüdischen Brauch »Taschlich«, bei dem Taschen und Kleider am Ufer von Flüssen, Seen oder Meeren ausgeschüttelt werden, um die Vergebung der Sünden zu erbitten. Bartana erweitert dieses Ritual des symbolischen Loswerdens von Objekten zur persönlichen seelischen Reinigung auf ein kollektives historisches (Unter-) Bewusstsein: Soldatenmäntel, Bibeln, Brillen, Menora stehen hier für persönliche Geschichten und gesellschaftliche Ordnungen, die überwunden werden müssen, um sich zu befreien.
