Jericho First, 2002

Installation

The image of a lion attacking a deer (found in a mosaic floor at Hisham Palace in Jericho) is transformed according to a mathematical function fed into a graphic software.

Sharif Waked, a Nazareth-born Palestinian artist, forms a connection between the name of the first stage of the Oslo Agreement - "Jericho First" - and the violent hunting scene.
