This multi-screen video installation presents six Los Angeles adults who reflect upon their B’nai Mitzvah. “Later in Life” asks what it means to embark upon a Jewish coming of age ritual - traditionally performed at age 13 - as an adult.
The artist, who is both one of the subjects featured in the work and its director, composed the 8 channel video from personal stories and footage of local Los Angeles synagogue architecture and design, revealing the diverse nature of contemporary Jewish experience.
