Joseph Semah : a journey into parades

Joseph Semah was born in Iraq in1948 and since his second year of life he was taken to the State of Israel where he grew up and lived until 1973 and since 1981 he settled himself in Amsterdam.

Semah being presented as an Israeli artist who explores both European and Jewish thought and the interplay between these two, most spectators may feel as if they miss something. But what is missing might be the point. You cannot expect a spectator to know both the European and Jewish tradition.
