The Arcane: Figuring the Extreme

Joining characters in unorthodox ways, jumbling them, or randomly repeating them removes letters and numbers from their traditional contexts. Such efforts stand at the intersection of Kabbalistic traditions and modern artistic attempts to transcend the limits of meaning. At the center of this section is a parchment bearing Kabbalistic motifs that stretches over ten meters in length. Audio stations inform visitors about past and present attempts to creatively engage with the power of numbers and signs.
