Montage-Murals: Ella Ponizovsky Bergelson’s “Present Figures” (Berlin 2021)
This spring, Debora Vogel’s poetry bloomed riotously across the faces of three buildings in Berlin. Passages from the collection Day Figures (Tog-Figurn, 1930) appeared in Vogel’s Yiddish and in translations into German, Arabic, and English, the letters of those four alphabets painted alongside hobo hieroglyphs, squatter runes, and paleotype. This series of calligraphic murals is the work of Ella Ponizovsky Bergelson (b. 1984).
