adamdam
adamdam is inspired by the story of the “golem”, a myth from the Jewish mystical tradition, about a servant created from clay.
the term “golem” is used in the bible in reference to an embryonic substance, a form not yet shaped.
In present times, the term “golem” refers to a brainless entity serving man, under controlled conditions, but hostile to him in others.
the tale points towards deep moral questions about human creation, about the place of men within the divine creation. is man interfering with what is godly? is man meddling with higher forces, which are not meant for him to touch? or, is he a co-creator, a partner in creation? where does the balance lie in “man versus god”?
‘adamdam’ is about the building and destroying of forms and emotional worlds. the work expresses a personal take on the dilemmas of modernity and advancement, as well as the desire to go backwards, to the simplicity and humility of old.
