Shai Kremer, Infected Landscape: Israel, Broken Promised Land
Introductions by Moshe Zuckerman, professor at Tel-Aviv University, and Sylvia Wolf, former Consultant Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Shai Kremer's first monograph is a striking exploration of contested territory transformed by military occupation. The ominously still images of decommissioned fighter planes used for target practice, eerie mock-ups of Arab villages erected for combat training, fresh footprints of marching armies, the walls and fences built to divide and break up the country, are all artificial structures imposed upon the land; they represent scars that are a constant reminder of active and unresolved strife. Kremer's photographs provoke thought about the long-term consequences for a culture constantly confronted with the material remnants of persistant and violent conflict.
