Exceptional, hand-bound concertina, making Keep Your Eye on the Wall a beautiful object and a special gift item.
Klappentext:In art and literature, walls are frequently used as powerful symbols of division. For the people of Palestine, however, the wall that cuts deeply into their land and society is all too real, snaking through over 700 kilometres of the West Bank and Gaza. It throttles Palestinians, seals off Israelis, and all but guarantees perpetual ignorance, fear and rage on both sides. Keep Your Eye on the Wall brings together seven award-winning artist-photographers and four essayists, all responding to the Wall in images or words. The photographers present unique perspectives, whether it is documenting the journey of labourers across the concrete separation barrier, or exploring the layers and textures of a wall in Gaza.
Informed, critical and powerful, the photographs constitute, in the words of French philosopher of art Georges Didi-Huberman, "a space for struggle".
