About the Item

Leaves From The Garden Of Eden is a collection of 100 Jewish fairytales, folktales, mythical and supernatural tales collected and retold by folklorist Howard Schwartz. These rich fables are found in rabbinic legends, biblical commentary, kabalistic texts and Hasidic tales that originate from all over the world. The book is the subject of a major exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, September 28, 2017 - January 28, 2018, conceived by Pierre- François Galpin, Assistant Curator, and is being collaboratively organized by Galpin and Chief Curator Renny Pritikin . The exhibition includes works by sixteen international contemporary artists and will explore themes of transformation, metamorphosis, good and evil, political metaphors, and storytelling in contemporary art. Dina Goldstein has been invited to participate and produce photographic tableaux, inspired by this tradition of storytelling and specifically from a Jewish perspective. ‘Snapshots From The Garden Of Eden’ features 11 large-scale tableau images with representing characters and passages from Leaves From The Garden Of Eden. The series will include modernized scenes from each of the four primary types of tales: fairy tales, folktales, supernatural tales and mystical tales. The black and white pieces feature the rich and ethnically diverse characters made up of divine royalty, temptresses, supernatural spirits, and Hasidic figures that star in these ancient dramas. Dina challenges the viewer with themes of destiny, temptation, justice, wisdom, blind faith and circumstance. Dreamscapes and symbolism are staples within Dina Goldstein’s work as they are in these early narratives.
