Description

Decommissioned British-era munitions storage bases near the
Gaza border. The concrete road that runs through the center was constructed to
connect the armories with an airport that was also built in Gaza in the early
1940s in anticipation of an attack by the Germans from North Africa during
WWII. The site is on the historical Bedouin villages of Abu Mwēlek and Ḥasanāt,
of the Tarabīn tribe, which were evacuated in 1948. The surrounding fields have
been plowed by the nearby Israeli kibbutz in preparation for planting.


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