	Snow White and The Madness of Truth - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Snow White and The Madness of Truth (Swedish: Snövit och sanningens vansinne) is a work of art by Israeli-born Swedish composer/musician Dror Feiler (music) and his Swedish wife artist Gunilla Sköld-Feiler (visuals), in the Museum of National Antiquities (Historiska muséet) in Stockholm, Sweden.
		The installation consisted of a long pool of blood red water, a little white boat labelled "Snövit" ("Snow White") with the portrait of a Palestinian suicide bomber Hanadi Jaradat, and a text[1] (http://www.makingdifferences.com/site/calendar.php?lang=enandid=20) posted on the walls.
		According to Gunilla Sköld-Feiler the name Snow White was chosen simply because in the picture Hanadi Jaradat looked like Snow White with her fl hair, pale skin and red lips.

	Snow White and The Madness of Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Snow White and The Madness of Truth (Swedish: Snövit och sanningens vansinne) was an item of installation art by Swedish (but Israeli-born) composer/musician Dror Feiler and his Swedish wife, artist Gunilla Sköld-Feiler.
		On January 20, Feiler appeared in Nyhetsmorgon on Swedish TV4 and explained that the white boat symbolized truth; and if an individual believed that their views were the absolute embodiment of truth, the end result could well be the pool of blood depicted in the installation.
		According to Sköld-Feiler, the name Snow White was chosen simply because in her portrait, Hanadi Jaradat resembled Snow White with her fl hair, pale skin and red lips.

		The recurrence of red, white and fl in both the text and the rest of the installation stressed that not even the archetype of Snow White is monochromatic, but red as blood and fl as ebony.
		References were made to Walt Disney, as well as to Snow White as a Lutheran symbol hung on the Christmas tree 13 and a sign of the new nihilism in a godless Europe.
		15 Here she is touching on Snow White as a pathological, infantile and fatal psychic state that can drive a person or a nation to the edge of the unthinkable.

		Snow White represents an equivocal, deluded and ultimately dangerous psychic state that has crystallized its faith in the purity and nobility of one’s own family, nation or God.
		References were made to Walt Disney, as well as to Snow White “as a Lutheran symbol hung on the Christmas tree”13and a sign of “the new nihilism in a godless Europe”14.Such interpretations were rendered by people with narrow, anxious perspectives who wrote in newspapers and magazines despite their not having seen the installation.

	israelinsider: Views: "Snow White and the Madness of Truth": Art or Propaganda? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The installation "Snow White and the Madness of Truth" by Dror and Gunilla Skold Feiler has raised the critical philosophical debate concerning the opposing roles of art and propaganda, and the problems that transpire when modern art is utilized as a political weapon.
		White, in contrast, is the color of spirit, a non-earthly hue connoting purity, clarity, joy and innocence.
		Overall the piece totally undermines the agony of the victims involved, the dead and the living, and focuses on its prime goal, which is to highlight the ideology of the seemingly iconic suicide bomber and justify her actions on the basis of her supposed weakness and naivety.

		In it floats a model sailboat called "Snow White." In place of a mainsail is a rectangular photograph of Hanadi Jaradat, the 29-year-old Palestinian lawyer who murdered 21 Israelis when she blew herself up in Haifa last October.
		"Snow White" was recently installed in the courtyard of the Stockholm Museum of National Antiquities.

		The Israeli ambassador’s attack on the installation Snow White and the Madness of Truth quickly became an art scandal that at the height of the controversy yielded 128,000 hits in Google related to it.
		And 12 months after Snow White and the Madness of Truth attracted so much attention, two new works — both by women — on the subject of suicide bombers were exhibited in Israel.

		Despite Feiler's protest that he is against suicide bombings, its hinted adulation functions as a glorification of the suicide bomber, who is presented to be as pure as "Snow White".
		However, instead of being a pure heroic figure from a children's legend, Hanadi is in reality a monster denuded of any humane feelings, who has caused the death of 21 innocent victims, enjoying their Sabbath lunch with their families and their babies.
		His emotional action was condemned, instead of having the condemnation pointed at the "madness" of the inadvertent responsible organizers who included such a callous and monstrous exhibit as part of an anti-genocide conference.

		There is not a more fertile playground than the art world for the clash of truth and beauty, of class structure and of political and religious arrogance.

		Everything was fine until Mazel saw Snow White and the madness of truth, a work by Dror Feiler (an Israeli based in Sweden) and his wife Gunilla Sköld Feiler.
		Taken by a fit of anger or of madness (it depends on your point of view), the ambassador attacked the work himself, having first demanded that the installation be disconnected and receiving a negative response.
		Titled "Snow White and the Madness of Truth," the piece was meant to call attention to how weak, lonely people can be capable of horrible things, said Israeli-born artist Dror Feiler, its creator.

		the ambassador's act [is] a work of political art that is far superior, both morally and esthetically, to the target of his outburst, Snow White and The Madness of Truth.
		Exactly how the depiction of Maxim restaurant suicide bomber Hanadi Jaradat as a "Snow White" floating above a sea of blood, with no mention of the Jewish and Arab men, women and children she butchered, helps inspire such conciliatory feelings is presumably one of those ineffable mysteries of art.
		What so incensed Mazel and his superiors was not the piece itself, but that the Swedish authorities had apparently reneged on a specific promise to Israel that Snow White would not be displayed at the Museum of National Antiquities last weekend in conjunction with an international conference on preventing genocide.

		But when he saw the smiling photograph of the suicide bomber, Hanadi Jaradat, used as a sail on a boat labelled Snow White, his entire body trembled with rage, he told Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot.

	The insanity of
		The foul murderous act has failed to break the spirit of civic cooperation and tolerance in Haifa, or even to take Maxim's out of business (it was full to the brim when I passed by recently).
		Here it was, however, glorified by a self-hating Israeli - or at least, if a slightly more benign (but ultimately more dangerous) interpretation is accepted, presented as an emblem of "the madness of truth," the so-called cycle of violence which has created this vast pool of blood.
		Equally "insane," for those who chose to see it in such terms, was the suicide bombing that took the lives of a score of Iraqis at the gates of the American HQ compound in Baghdad - another act of "heroic resistance" in the eyes of some, or "senseless violence" in the eyes of others.
