The historian of promise, Performative drawing 

In these most recent blog pages you can view The historian of promise, a performative, collaborative drawing that has been done in the past 5 days. The drawings were collected and are now stored in a bowl, as a heap of chalk and colored powder. This part of the blog is arranged in a non-linear, semi chronological way, echoing this heap.

Nuris mini participatory installation

1948 was the year of Israel’s War of Independence and the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe).

Nuris was a Palestinian village that got destroyed in 1948.

On a family visit to Israel when going for a walk on my beloved Gilboa mountain I stumbled across the remains of Nuris. There were no signs or memorial for the Palestinian residents, only bits of walls and straight angles reminiscent of human life.
