Bedouin boy watching the building of the Carmel settlement on land that his community claims ownership over. South Hebron Hills. April 2010

Since 2001, Israel through its military and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza, has uprooted, burnt and destroyed more than 548,000 olive trees that belong to Palestinians. The uprooting of the ancient olive trees, as a byproduct of war, has had tremendous effects on the Palestinian agriculture, economy, and identity. June 2011

Silwan, East Jerusalem. Many of these buildings have a standing demolition order; the municipality wants to clear the area and build a park for recreational purposes. More than 1,000 Palestinians are at risk of losing their homes. Since the year 2000, more than 1,100 Palestinian homes have been demolished in East Jerusalem. Palestinians build illegally because it’s almost impossible for them to obtain a building permit in Jerusalem. They either have to build illegally, or move out of the city. The estimated number of outstanding demolitions is up to 20,000. March 2010

On Bill Owens

"Owens’ photographs belong to an American aesthetic tradition of art that explores the intersection of everyday life and theatricality. Like the paintings of Edward Hopper, the photographs of Walker Evans and Diane Arbus, and the short stories of John Cheever and Raymond Carver, Owens’ photographs find unexpected beauty and mystery within the American vernacular. This collision between normality and strangeness transforms the American landscape into a place of wonder and anxiety."

"Owens is among the generation of photographers, including Robert Adams, William Eggleston, Steven Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, who used the tradition of documentary photography to explore the complexities and contradictions of the American landscape. To varying degrees, they used an objective style of photography in an effort to locate a perfect tension between banality and beauty, domesticity and nature, criticism and admiration."

Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs

    "Rock and Roll adolescent hoodlums storm the streets of all nations. They rush into the Louvre and throw acid on the Mona Lisa's face. They open zoo's, insane asylums, prisons, burst water mains with air hammers, chop the floor out of passenger plane lavatories, shoot out lighthouse's , file elevator cables to one thin wire, turn sewers into water supply, throw sharks and sting rays, electric eels and candiru into swimming pools .......(Candiru, look it up...) in nautical costumes ram the Queen Mary full speed into New York Harbor, play chicken with passenger planes and buses, rush into hospitals in white coats carrying saws and axes and scalpels 3 feet long, throw paralytics out of iron lungs, administer injections with bicycle pumps ..... and they shit on the floor of the United Nations and wipe their ass with treaties, pacts and alliances."
