The exhibition “The Man with the Pumpkin Head” presents the works of three artists: Orna Bromberg, Moshe Mirsky and Keren Russo, with the thread connecting the three of them being their work on trauma and memory – the memory of trauma.

For Orna Bromberg, the solidification of a childhood moment repeats itself over and over again serially, using a small group of images, repeated in an infinite number of ways: the girl with the legs of matches, fish, birds of prey and flowers. The choice of a seemingly naive and childish way of painting necessarily involves engaging in content of a nightmarish and frightening nature.
