Patient A.E.
Heara 12, an art event by Salamanca Group, Hansen Hospital historical building, Jerusalem, Israel
oil on melamine paintings, historical items from the hospital's collection and text
2014


The installation is combined as part of the hospital's rooms and attempts to integrate itself within the site's history. It tells the story of the child “Patient A.E”, one of many children of immigrants to Israel in the 1950s, who were claimed to be ill solely on the basis of race and origin, and forcibly taken from their families for treatments that included exposure to strong radiation.
