Anti-Mapping Exhibit
Palestine agricultural plots
These two images were captured by Miki Kratsman and Shabtai Pinchevsky for their “Anti-Mapping” exhibit at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Haaretz reports that the exhibit exposes places not shown on government maps because they’ve either (a) had their names erased; (b) had their remnants covered by Jewish National Fund forests, Zionist settlements, or IDF military bases; or (c) because low-resolution satellite photography has not captured the remnants that these high-resolution photographs have captured. Featured photo: “Remnants of agricultural plots separated by a low stone barrier that’s invisible to the naked eye, in Beit Guvrin, in the central part of the country.” Source: “The Photos Exposing What Israel Is Trying to Hide” Haaretz.
