Abstract
Images from the series 'Encountering Perforated Ground' were published in EXIT no 87 Portrait Typologies publication under the Portfolio section, pages: 130-135.
Encountering Perforated Ground is a photographic project created between 2014-2018 through multiple visits to Israel and Palestine, mostly around the Jordan Valley in the West Bank. This project investigates personal and political narratives, identity formations and the construction of collective memories, shaped by violent historical events through traces left in the landscape and made visible by photography.
Human activity marks the landscape, enabling a reading of ongoing occupation, political violence and daily activities which aim to maintain control over the land. Whilst photography is often read in terms of its indexical referent, this project seeks to examine and subvert the ways in which we decipher meaning. The images operate as visual triggers, aiming to activate connotations originating from dominant political contexts, informed and maintained by state apparatuses. Surveillance, access restrictions, hospitality and hostility encountered in the landscape, often in response to national identity and gender, are emphasised by the works and the photographic gaze through their use of poetic and suggestive visual language.
