Description

Impact craters and wreckage of two Israeli Air Force (IAF)
Skyhawk planes used as targets along a simulated airstrip in the live-fire zone
of the Naḥal Masor, Wādi Munshār in Arabic. The IAF uses dummy bombs—weights
without explosives or detonation—to target the airstrip from above and register
the accuracy. The hundreds of pockmarks across the soft surface of the canyon
floor register the bombing runs.





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