Twenty years ago, Assi Meshulam began his ambitious and ongoing artistic-literary-theological project - the establishment of the "Order of Impurity": a religious-artistic-philosophical order that offers complex relationships between worship and violence, between paganism, monotheism and secularism, between impurity and holiness, and between orderly Torah and carnal lust. It began with "Your Enemy," a book that Meshulam wrote in 2005 that recounts the story of Your Enemy, a hybrid of human form and canine genes. With messianic fervor and quasi-biblical language, he conveys to his readers the gospel of the new Torah, saturated with impurity, physicality and disorder. In his writing, as well as in the exhibition in which the book is presented, Created, there are human and animal elements, intelligence and drive, darkness and hope.
