Description

Remnants of an extension to the Bedouin village of Rakhma.
The multiple circular stains indicate the earlier presence of livestock pens,
which were removed and reconstructed



several times. The light manual plowing or “scratching” of
the ground is indicative of ongoing Bedouin cultivation. In the absence of
mechanized watering systems, the crops are watered by hand. The site is now
officially within a closed military live-fire training zone. Despite this
restriction, the Bedouins maintain a presence on the land.





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