Gaza sur Mer

2000

Views of the sea in Gaza, Sheikh-Ajlin quarter, Palestine :
 

 

These photographs, all taken from the same location, during the same year (1997). bear witness, in this overpopulated zone, to emptiness and nothing, to a desert of blue, pink or grey water, with the signs of everyday life, a few fishing boats, some bathers, birds, a kite or a helicopter passing across the sky.
The images are small and square in the centre of large frames, like those seen through the window frames of the refugee camps that border the shore.
