Keep your Eye on the wall. Palestinian landscapes

Collective exhibition

Curatorial project with Masasam

Collective exhibition with photographs by Taysir Batniji, Rula Halawani, Raeda Saadeh, Steve Sabella and Kai Wiedenhöfer.

A little over ten years ago, the Israeli state began erecting the Separation Wall. Since then, the lives of Palestinians have deteriorated: international
law has been violated, and free movement has
been refused to the entire population, intensifying suspicion, hatred and bitterness between Israelis and Palestinians, who were already profoundly isolated from one another.

It is therefore urgent to ‘keep an eye on the wall’. In this exhibition, ve photographers look at the wall in unexpected ways. eir views decipher the wall, circumvent it; even shift it, imparting it with another presence in order to resist against it.
