Summary
The exhibition of Yishai Jusidman (b. Mexico, 1963) presents his art production in which he reflects on a pigment (Prussian blue) whose historical and social implications go beyond its aesthetic qualities. The pigment was one of the first artificially-developed pigments and was discovered by accident by Heinrich Diesbach in Berlin in 1704. As often happens, this color is a fundamental part of the history of Germany: it was the color chosen for the Prussian military uniforms of the 18th and 19th centuries and is closely linked to the Nazi genocide. According to some studies, a compound chemically close to the Prussian blue was used as a pesticide by the Nazis. Even some walls of the extermination camps still have the blue color marks.
