Waadi Nissnas, Haifa, Israel, 2001
17 banners, digital photography


The work was made on a ruind and abandoned building in Waadi Nissnas. This was an artwork created in the Arab neighbourhood of Haifa, where Jews and Arabs are doomed to a very confrontational collaboration. I used a ‘system’ of signs of body language and sign language. Although gestures of ‘sign language’ may suggest a particular message, we can not assign them actually any sense. Only our associations and the connotative level can point at intentions - although nothing here is certain.
