Gary Thomas. Book/ DVD published in UK by LUX

the relationship between art and animation and the place of animation

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://
