A Future for the Past: Petrie's Palestinian Collection
9 January - 24 March 2007.

This unique exhibition celebrates the diversity of ancient Palestine. It also illustrates the deep, rich heritage of a region repeatedly portrayed in today’s media as a place of conflict and suffering. The exhibition highlights the extraordinary finds made by the archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie, who was Professor of Egyptology at UCL and spent many years working in the area around modern Gaza in the 1920s and 1930s.

Why did the IDF shoot my brother?

2006-08-13T11:55:00.000+01:00

'Why did the IDF shoot my brother?' Gaza Strip, Palestine.

Idle chat:

The editing process has completely changed with the arrival of digital photography. It's not easy to edit on the camera screen or on a laptop as you work because it can affect the flow of the photography and concentration. It depends whether its a still object. Editing on screen afterwards is also very time consuming and that's why a charge for post-production is made.

Editing with film is a tactile process. Contact sheets can illustrate how a photographer works, how the photographic process has unfolded... Placing physical marks on the contact sheet, playing with ideas, developing new ideas... happens when pen meets paper.

Gaza Strip

Jabalya Refugee camp, Gaza City, Palestine.

2006-08-11T14:24:00.000+01:00

Contact sheet number 29, frames 17 and 18. I was in Jabalya refugee camp on the outskirts of Gaza City. Mohammed was very nervous and apprehensive about taking me there. There had been an IDF incursion in the night. They smashed the place up. Palestine TV station's presenter was making a broadcast.

Looking for individual prints is one task. Other narratives arise on conmtact sheets between muliple images. Between sequences of shots above and below, sometimes unrelated scenes.

Mohammed and I went to the end of the street (behind the tv presenter) That's where it got scary. Turning left at the junction we got caught in a traffic jam. Then people started shouting that the Israeli tanks were coming, the crowd turned and started running towards us... instant chaos. I ran, legs turning to jelly...

Hope and Sunrise

Hope and Sunrise Centre in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip. Encouraging a positive outlook from the children of Gaza who are very traumatised by the constant Israeli military harassment. When F16 fighter jets come swooping down along with sonic booms it makes you jump out of your skin, every time.

Gaza Strip, missing news...

2006-08-04T23:20:00.000+01:00

Israel is fighting a battle on several fronts. Their attack on Lebanon is already shifting from top place in the headlines. Reports of Israeli attacks on Gaza have slipped the news altogether. Is it balanced reporting of a 'Middle East Crisis' if Gaza is forgotten. Surely all the military activities of the IDF are relevant at this time. What is the overall Israeli strategy? How can Israel sustain this military activity? Who is going to foot the bill?

The BBC website has news of attacks on Gaza where civilian deaths are commonplace:

'According to the UN, Israel fires around 150 shells into the tiny territory every day in a bid to stop Palestinian militants who fire an average of 10 rockets across the border.

Israel says it needs to target civilian areas because that is where militants base themselves but aid organisations say Gaza's population of 1.4 million is living in perpetual fear.'
