A propos du project
Leonid Pekarovsky worked as an art historian & exhibition curator for the Ukraine Ministry of Culture. When he immigrated to Israel at age 44, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the only job he could get was sweeping the litter off the streets of the Holy city, Jerusalem.
« The Broom » is based on Leonid’s acclaimed autobiographical short story of the same title. In the story, Leonid’s mind tries to find the presence of brooms in art history, as he is sweeping the streets. Through this art exploration, focused on the artifact he is holding, Leonid hopes to find a deeper meaning and solace to his Sisyphean job.
