Dor Guez

"The exhibition includes 40 Days, a two-channel video piece and photographic series about the destroyed gravesites in the Christian Palestinian cemetery in the city of Lod (previously known by its Arabic name of Al-Lydd). The images originate from Guez’s ongoing work, begun in 2009, to build the first Christian-Palestinian Archive, the CPA, a growing collection of archival documents about the Palestinian Christians who were expelled from, and those who remained in, the State of Israel after the 1948 war. The archive’s starting point was Guez’s own family’s albums, three generations of the Monayer family living as a “minority within a minority,” but today it includes thousands of other images. Guez conveys these experiences using different photographic and video techniques, from scanned archival images, what he calls “scanograms”, to video installations, which are at once documentary, testimonial and experimental films" - Mosaic Rooms site
