I discovered Ganahl's work in a collabrative book of Jewish Americans, "The Jewish Identity Project". Ganahl interviewed several different Jewish Americans about their lifestyles and background. He then took out select answers from each person, or group of persons, and displayed them along with photographs of the people and of their spaces. It was very interesting to read their personal stories, and then to look at the photographs of their space and see their personal belongings. His other work infuses several different cultures together. His art includes him actually studying and learning different languages, including Russian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian.
