TESTIMONY (Israel / Palestine, 2002-2004)

The American photographer Gillian Laub has been visiting Palestine and Israel regularly since 2002. Over the years she has done portraits of residents of cities such as Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv and Nablus. She has had every group in the population before her camera, from Jews and Palestinians to Israeli Arabs and Lebanese immigrants. They all have their own story and background. But the geopolitical problems influence daily life for all of them, just as surely as they each have a part of the solution to contribute.
