Judgment Day,
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, 2022
Neta Harari Navon’s 18-panel painting reimagines the tradition of The Last Judgment, replacing divine judgment with human responsibility. Titled Judgment Day, it questions the notion of a single, predetermined verdict. In Judgment Day, Jesus is absent; there is no judge, no judgment, no one to decide who is righteous and who has sinned. Inspired by Renaissance masterpieces and mud festivals, the work explores the tension between imposed moral order and instinctive human freedom.
Judgment Day,
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, 2022
Curator: Varda Steinlauf
Consisting of eighteen painted panels, Judgment Day reinterprets the tradition of the Last Judgment for a world without a divine judge. At its center is an empty eye without a gaze, where judgment rests in human hands. Drawing on Old Master painting and contemporary mud festivals, the work weaves together bodies, animals, mud, and water. In the absence of divine judgment, redemption emerges through human responsibility and our capacity to rescue one another.
