The Gaza Strips

The Gaza Strips is a series of three wall-sized photographic panoramas depicting locations along the Gaza border during the 2018–2019 Great March of Return protests. Each panorama is digitally composed from dozens of news-media images captured over a year and a half, all taken from military-designated vantage points on the Israeli side of the border. As the protests unfolded, new photographs were added to each panorama, gradually constructing a layered image from an event that extended over many months. No individual photographer could have produced these views. Assembled from the fragmented, partial records that the conditions of access allowed, the panoramas reconstruct a landscape and event whose meaning has been irrevocably transformed by subsequent history.
