Snow White and the Madness of Truth, by Israeli Dror Feiler and his Swedish wife Gunilla Sköld-Feile.
The controversial installation, now taken down, consisted of a long pool of water coloured blood red, upon which floated a small white boat named “Snövit” (“Snow White”) carrying a portrait of Hanadi Jaradat, a Palestinian suicide bomber, which were accompanied by text written on the nearby walls, and the sound of Bach’s Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut (Cantata 199), which begins:
“My heart swims in blood / because the brood of my sins / in God’s holy eyes / makes me into a monster”.
According to the artists, the installation was made to “call attention to how weak people left alone can be capable of horrible things”.
