Description

Border zone between the Negev and Egyptian Sinai. The road
at top left leads to the border a few hundred meters away. The white cubic
boxes demarcate underground communication and power cables that supply the
border fence. The intersecting line is a seismic test line used for oil
exploration. A few kilometers south of the site, the state runs various
prisons, initially for Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, later for
illegal migrants. Asylum-seekers from states in which war is ongoing, or from
“enemy” states such as Sudan to which Israel cannot deport, can be detained
here indefinitely.




From the publication The Erasure Trilogy, Volume 4: Desert Bloom (Notes) (Göttingen: Steidl, 2015).
