Two Family Archives

Friedemann Derschmidt (Wien) and Shimon Lev (Tel Aviv)

The Two Family Archives project started when the two artists met in Vienna in 2012. For two decades, both had been engaged independently and very intensively with their own family histories. Lev’s strategy was creation and reflection, due for the most part to the absence of a personal family archive, the result of the murder of nearly his entire family by the Nazis. Derschmidt used a different approach, working with an extensive domestic archive of personal materials based on his large family’s Nazi history.
