This article delves into the underexplored intersection of Jewish identities and feminist art. It critically examines artworks by Judit Hersko and Susan Hiller, aligning with evolving identity constructs in contemporary aesthetics. Concepts like “postmemory” link second-generation Jewish artists to past experiences and unveil the erasure of Jewish women’s memory of Jewish genocide. Analyzing Hersko and Hiller’s diverse works, from landscape photography and sculpture to performance art, it underscores their shared pursuit: illuminating lingering “ghosts” of the Holocaust in modern landscapes. Susan Hiller’s The J Street Project represents an ongoing exploration of loss and trauma beyond the Holocaust in Germany, using archives as a dynamic, evolving phenomenon. Judit Hersko’s art calls for bearing witness to a potential climate catastrophe in Antarctica. The article culminates in the exploration of “The Memorial” (2017), an art project by the activist collective Center for Political Beauty that focuses on the resurgence of overt anti-Semitism in Germany. In essence, Hiller and Hersko confront erasures in history and nature, emphasizing justice and repair. Their art, intertwined with a project addressing contemporary anti-Semitism, serves as a testament to the enduring power of feminist art, reflecting, mourning, and transforming a world marked by historical traumas and war.

犹太“幽灵”:朱迪特·赫斯科和苏珊·希勒以及大屠杀后记忆的女权主义交叉艺术

本文深入探讨了犹太身份与女权主义艺术之间未被充分探索的交叉点。它批判性地审视了朱迪特·赫斯科(Judit Hersko)和苏珊·希勒(Susan Hiller)的艺术作品,与当代美学中不断变化的身份结构保持一致。“后记忆”等概念将第二代犹太艺术家与过去的经历联系起来,并揭示了犹太妇女对犹太种族灭绝记忆的抹除。它分析了赫斯科和希勒的多样化作品,从风景摄影、雕塑到行为艺术,强调了他们的共同追求:照亮现代风景中挥之不去的大屠杀“幽灵”。苏珊·希勒 (Susan Hiller) 的《J 街项目》代表了对德国大屠杀之外的损失和创伤的持续探索,利用档案作为一种动态的、不断发展的现象。朱迪特·赫斯科的艺术呼吁见证南极洲潜在的气候灾难。这篇文章的高潮是对“纪念馆”(2017)的探索,这是一个由激进团体政治美中心发起的艺术项目,重点关注德国公开反犹太主义的死灰复燃。从本质上讲,希勒和赫斯科面对历史和自然的抹去,强调正义和修复。他们的艺术与解决当代反犹太主义的项目交织在一起,证明了女权主义艺术的持久力量,反映、哀悼和改变一个充满历史创伤和战争的世界。
