Description

Remains of Bedouin homesteads, south of Arad, near the
unrecognized villages of
al-Qurʽān and Qabbūʽa. Both Bedouin and Jewish local
residents from Arad oppose a current government plan to establish a phosphate
quarry on the site, stating health concerns including potential exposure to
radioactive dust. The Bedouin settlement was evacuated when the Israeli military
established a live-fire zone on the site, which will eventually be replaced by
the mine. In winter people and livestock stayed within the enclosures on the
lower slope and in summer they moved to the higher slopes. At top right a train
of camels can be seen, led by one person.



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