​

In Another Seder, Amit Leblang presents her multidisciplinary project with text, video and prints on the intersection between personal and cultural narratives. Documentation, translation and contextualization unveil the layered nature of a family's mythology. Uncomfortable with time's constrained passing, family members lay out their habitual rituals. Things are lying around as memories' vessels, waiting for their narrative to be shared and become a commodity for future probabilities. 'Seder' is the Hebrew word for "order" and once a year, it is used to describe the Passover evening: "a series of acts involving telling a story, asking questions, and ritualized food and drink" (Dages Juvelier Keates, 2024). Traces of gatherings, crumbs of day-to-day rituals and special occasions surface throughout the exhibition. With another chronology of past, present and future, we encounter another way of looking at the domestic order.
