Description

Pitas, targets to simulate enemy (in this case Egyptian and
Syrian) installations in a closed live-fire training zone. The targets, created
by piling up earth mounds, are reminiscent of the ancient archaeological
remains that are also scattered throughout this part of the desert. The
live-fire zone, established on former pasturelands of the ʽAzāzme tribe, is not
far from the border with Egypt. Large portions of the southern and western
sections of the Negev are considered off-limits and open only to the Israeli
military. These spaces are intended to seal off the border zone and obstruct
the passage of the Bedouin communities.





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