Kunsthall Stavanger is excited to present The Golem - An Inanimate Matter by People Like Us (aka Vicki Bennett). The video is part of our Art Video for Kids program.

In the video, the Golem, a monstrous being of inanimate matter from Jewish folklore, is accidentally summoned from a book, and wreaks havoc through a library. Vicki Bennett explains; "For the Golem film we had a golem be summoned in a study of books and try and trash all the books he walks through. I didn't realise until later, but this is reflected in the ongoing war over access to information, and it being hidden or made inaccessible".

Kunsthall Stavanger would like to thank LUX - Artist's Moving Image.
