Keep a Kippà
Kippà is the famous skull-cap worn by Hebrews, a kind of portable vault of heaven, intermediating between celestial sphere and earth, with the sole object of avoiding that the stench of human thoughts could reach God. It accompanies Hebrew all day long remembering that: “a menc tracht un Got lacht” (Man thinks and God laughs).
This small headgear assumes here a twofold value: the security given by
identity and the danger hidden behind every choice. It will become the
encumbering gift dealt out to the visitors of the Prague Biennale, evoking
also the Jewish “imagerie” of this ancient town.
