Invisible Countdown

 

Amir Ovadia Steklov

Are Jewish people in Germany allowed to take a critical view of the war in Gaza? Or do they feel obliged to show solidarity with Israel? A/ mir wonders how he is perceived here as a peace-loving Jew. Infrared images offer the aesthetics of reversal. The invisible becomes visible, the visible alien. Noise-cancelling headphones momentarily silence the outside in favour of the inside. In the picture: the countdown from 24 to zero frames per second.
