The encounter between photographer and subject is a point of friction that attempts to draw attention to the very real and far more violent friction of inequality and power imbalance the Palestinians endure in their daily lives. The exhibition raises questions about the meaning of “freedom” or “liberty” after a lifetime – half a century – spent living under oppression.
What role do we, the spectators looking at the faces that gaze out at us from the portraits, play in these power relations?
