How Many Is One. Interview with Deganit Stern Schocken

Artists are supposed to respond to what is happening around them. Sometimes the response is blatant or superficial; sometimes its political aspect is implied. Living in Israel, it is impossible to disregard the fact that a high wall called the Separation Wall passes through this small country, that there are military checkpoints, that there is a reality of occupation going on for decades. My response is to indicate this, without shouting; to protest and influence in my own way.

Interview with Deganit Stern Schocken (*1947) who ranks among the most distinguished positions in contemporary art jewellery in Israel, around her recently published book How Many is One by Arnoldsche Art Publishers.
