Cross border Practices
Palestinian cities in the occupied territories are encircled by different
kinds of borders created and controlled by the Israeli military regime:
roadblocks, checkpoints, walls, barbed wire fences and trenches. In order
to overcome this apparatus of control, Palestinians routinely utilize
various crossborder practices, which constitute a form of opposition to
the occupation. This installation portrays the metropolitan area of
Jerusalem as an experimental laboratory for examining spatial and social
systems of inclusion and exclusion.
