Uriel Orlow, Deposits. Book published by Green Box and Eta.
Monographic publication Deposits documents and comments on four video  
and photographic works by Uriel Orlow produced between 1996 and 2000.  
These works present different facets of Orlow’s approach, which sees  
art production as a strategy for the remembrance of the Holocaust. In  
this work, history is defined as an aspect of the present, not  
something to be searched for in the past. Orlow makes history visible  
by confronting sites of memory in their actual status, and  
interrogating them with contemporary problems. Deposits is understood  
as a collection of these remarkable works, but also as an extension  
of their problematisation of memory and representation. The central  
theme of Uriel Orlow’s work is the archive and the artist’s agency as  
archivist. Deposits sets out to document these artworks, and to  
further develop their critical and philosophical tensions. With texts  
by: Alexander Garcia Düttmann, Kai-Uwe Hemken, Eric Jacobson, Michael  
Newman, Uriel Orlow und Monica Ross. ISBN 13 9783908175124 http://
