r u capable of changing your mental DNA?

Today, 44 years ago, my grandfather died. He was killed in his car by explosives he had for construction project. I was born two month before. First granDchild to Motke Bargida, who lost all his family in the Hollocost and survived the worst in Auschowitz by the age of 15. He came to Israel and created a family and a business (earthworks construction). His sudden death change completely my family’s narrative. He never spoke about the Hollocost but i was curious about it and i love history so i returned again and again to this subject through my life and its part of my life since i was a child. I am 44 now and the memories still flashing, memories that are not mine but i have to feel them over and over again, they r part of my mental DNA.

I came to the studio today instead to my grandfather’s grave (due to corona restrictions) and i wanted to express my longings to him, whom I never met.

It came to be a bit dark, but i’m sure he will understand.

This is Mickey Bernstein. 

Mickey was one of the smartest people I have met and also one of the most radical ones. An art expert, a dealer, an artist, a lawyer, a writer, a dreamer, a philosopher and so on. I was his personal assitant 8 years ago, it lasted 1 year but we kept in touch since then. I have visited him on a regular basis during the last 7 years. I had special relations with Mickey and yet very complicated due to his mental & physical state. During our meetings along the years I have documented him, stills & video. His last years were hard. He was very lonely, his fame faded, friends didnt come or call. He said to me that he feels like “Leonardo without a paintbrush”. 

He died last week during his night sleep.

I am sharing some photographs to honor his troubled soul who is now, finally, in peace.
