White Land
"White Land" 2001, Littman-Cohen.
The artist Ariane Littman-Cohen makes use of " ready made" aerial photographs that map the entire country of Israel, were large areas have been erased at the order of the Military Censor. The use of photographs as ready-made emphasizes the actions of erasure, concealment, and camouflage to reveal information that the establishment has tried to reduce and hide from the public. The lacking and disappeared become exposed and concrete, building a new reality of the Holy Land, a type of vitual-territorial sieve: Hole's Land.
