From Galilee to the Negev

Photographer Stephen Shore creates a living portrait of Israel and the West Bank.

From Galilee to the Negev offers an intimate look at this multi—faceted place, exploring its complexities and its contradictions. Shore travelled the length and breadth of the region, questioning and revealing through his camera lens. His visual inquiry explores the landscape itself and the people who live in it – the daily lives and the narratives that combine to create this fascinating place, at once beautiful and ugly, safe and hostile.

Shore’s images are accompanied by texts from a diverse range of writers, including Jane Kramer, Yotam Ottolenghi, and Yossi Klein Halevi, each of whom selected a single photograph as a springboard for his or her response.
