Artist Dwora Fried creates tiny tableaux inside glass fronted boxes and large interactive experiences with her exhibitionBIG BOX little box. She populates her smaller work with vintage dolls, toys and furniture from the 50’s – photographs, fabrics, plastic, wood and metal. These small rooms evoke her experience growing up as an outsider in postwar Vienna. Being Jewish, lesbian and a child of holocaust survivors, Fried learned to see everything through the prism of loss, danger and secrecy. In addition to the small mixed media dioramas, the artist built a life-size replica of one of the small boxes allowing the viewers to personally engage with and become part of the artwork.
