Product Description
Product Description
Infected Landscape is Shai Kremer s searing portrait of the military disfiguration of the landscape of Israel. The accumulation of ruins and military remnants is an important part of what defines the Israeli landscape today wounds in the landscape that correspond to the wounds in the Israeli collective consciousness. To describe the complexity of this ever-changing and multi-layered terrain, Kremer creates aesthetic, orderly and beautiful compositions that parallel the defense mechanisms developed to protect Israelis from the painful reality of the current political situation. Rather than confronting the Israeli occupation in the way that it has been absorbed by the world s media, Kremer adopts a more subtle approach. For him, the media s aggressive representation of reality numbs people s sensibilities making them callous to the suffering of others. Instead of shock, Kremer seeks to challenge the viewer, using the landscape as a focus to understand the overwhelming impact of the situation at the deepest of levels.
