Steps, Movie Theatre, Building 330, Governors Island, NY

Artist: Lisa Kereszi (American, born 1973, M.F.A. 2000)

LATITUDE: 30°53'60"N / LONGITUDE: 34°45'53"E, October 9, 2011. Earthwork preparation for the planting of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Ambassador Forest as part of its afforestation campaign to provide a green belt around the city of Beersheba (Heb., Beʼer Shevaʽ/Arabic, Bīr a-Ssabʽ). The JNF is a nongovernmental Zionist organization founded in 1901 for the purpose of buying land, on behalf of world Jewry, for the foundations of a Jewish state in Ottoman-controlled Palestine. Today the JNF is active in afforestation and presents itself as a “global environmental leader.” In the summer of 2010, the homes of the Abu Jāber, Abu Mdīghem, and Abu Freiḥ families, of the al-Tūri tribe, which were on the site surrounding the two remaining trees, were demolished, and the families expelled. The land is currently claimed by the Bedouin community as part of the surrounding area of the unrecognized village of al-ʽAraqīb., from the series Desert Bloom

Artist: Fazal Sheikh (American, born 1965)

LATITUDE: 31°25'14"N / LONGITUDE: 34°28'24"E, October 10, 2011. Decommissioned British-era munitions storage base near the Gaza border, constructed in the early 1940s in anticipation of an attack by the Germans from North Africa during WWII. Shown here are some of the 170 soil mounds built in a square missing rib formation as fortification and protection from the wind. Low walls along one side are to prevent an explosion from one storage space igniting a neighboring site. Following the German defeat by the Allied forces in the battle of al-ʽAlamein, the fortifications proved unnecessary, and have not been used since 1942. The site is on the historical Bedouin villages of Abu Mʽēlek/Ḥasanāt, of the Tarabīn tribe, which were evacuated during Operation Yoʼav. Nearby is Kibbutz Beʼeri (lit., “my well”), established in 1946 as one of eleven “points” of Jewish settlement planned to assure a Jewish presence in the area prior to the partition of Palestine., from the series Desert Bloom

Artist: Fazal Sheikh (American, born 1965)

LATITUDE: 30°53'60"N / LONGITUDE: 34°45'53"E, October 9, 2011. Demolished remains of a Bedouin home and fenced area within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development experimental site, started in around 2000 and currently still active. The house, which is made of light and fragile material, is typical of Bedouin structures, and the evidence on the ground suggests that the house was voluntarily evacuated and demolished without a struggle. The land was confiscated so as not to impede the work of the experimentation. In the upper left corner of the image are two circular dark patches, the remains of staining from the herd that was kept within a sire (livestock pen) on the site. The two white circles right of the fencing are the remains of wells along a channel that has been dug from the streambed., from the series Desert Bloom

Artist: Fazal Sheikh (American, born 1965)

LATITUDE: 31°3'13"N / LONGITUDE: 34°28'10"E, November 13, 2011. Tracks of recent passage along an improvised route through the Ḥalutza Sands toward the Egyptian border. This section of the border zone between the Negev and Egyptian Sinai, on the former Palestinian village of Nabaʽāt, of the Tarabīn tribe, is more than 20 kilometers away from the nearest town and several kilometers away from the border. The area is one of the most frequently used clandestine routes for migrants seeking asylum from war and famine in sub-Saharan Africa, mainly Eritrea and Darfur. In 2013, a fence was built along the entire length of the border to block asylum-seekers from entering Israel., from the series Desert Bloom
