NORWAY: 19 large format documentary photographs of people, everyday motifs and condensed situations in private and public spaces in Palestine became the series "Palestinian Gestures". The series was one of five art works in the exhibition "Participatory Observation and Documentary Methods in Edit Palestine".

Restrictions on movement of Palestinians as well as foreigners on Palestinian land is justified with "security" purposes. All the people are affected by the vast and complicated infrastructure of movement restrictions. You have to wait in line, go through military outposts, check points and a separation barrier on your way in/out of Palestine. It is easy to forget the proximity of destinations in this small, divided piece of land. The art work "Palestinian Gestures" relates to movements, both in front of and behind the lens.
