Would you stay—if you could leave?, 2009
Photography, text
Would you stay—if you could leave? consists of six images photographed in the West Bank and three written accounts, all of which have been framed at 30 x 40 cm. The images and texts contain elements of blocking or restraining, which complicates movement through the landscape, either on a concrete physical level or on a psychological one. The written narratives oscillate between past and present, as well as the personal accounts and stories recounted by others. The photographed sites show terrain filled with man-made obstacles, which cut through the horizon and divide the landscape.
