This Place Is Not This Place, 2022

This Place (A photography exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, 2016) shows empty landscapes labeled with Hebrew names, which displace indigenous Arabic names. The photos repeat the colonial myth of “A land without a people for a people without a land.” Separation wall and checkpoints are barely present, as are Palestinians. Meanwhile, family portraits of Israeli settlers normalize how land is stolen from Palestine.
