Ida’s Travel To The Holy Land
Ida’s Travel To The Holy Land is a photo installation inspired by a travel journal by Ida Pfeiffer (1797 -1858), an Austrian woman traveler who explored Palestine in the 19th century.
This photo installation serves as a tribute to a historically underrecognized heroine, subtly challenging the male-dominated narratives of exploration, history, and conquest often portrayed through landscape photography. By weaving together elements of landscape and textual references, the work critiques themes of anti-heroism, feminism, colonialism, and the conventions of landscape photography.
