The Settlements is a topographical portrait of the architecture and landscape of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Taken over a period of four years, these black and white photographs reveal the genesis and evolution of the greater settlement project. Focused on the sharp contrast between the medium view from within the communities and the broader view from their perimeters, the images belie the tense proximity of two peoples living on the same land. This project developed out of a curiosity; the photographer was not satisfied with the images portrayed in the news and wanted to know whether the communities were all alike, indistinguishable or unique, and what it felt like to stand on disputed ground. Using a map of the locations he visited over fifty communities in six distinct regions of the West Bank—Shomron, Binyamin, Gush Etzion, East Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and the Hebron Hills—and a multitude of demographics: national religious, ultra-Orthodox, secular and mixed communities.
