Every now and then, Israeli forces publish one kind of map (satellite images of the South) that contains information about Hezbollah locations, most of them underground. Pictures from the sky, an obsession with what’s at the bottom, these sites are often referred to with colored circled dots.

At 22,000 meters high, pictures of the South, in the Wadi al-Hujeir area and its cityscape. No aerial images of these areas have been taken since 1975.

Fixed imaginary boundaries: No maps exist for some villages in South Lebanon, thus they are nonexistent in the Directorate of Land Registration and Cadasters in Lebanon.

The artist had asked his father to record images of the land there.

A piece of land the size of Marfa’ gallery, unofficially owned by Joumana Asseily through long-term occupancy, legally not owned by anyone and waiting to be utilized and reclaimed.
