Open Sea

Open Sea

A bus stop in East Jerusalem where a billboard of the sea of Gaza provides a fading backdrop to the waiting passengers and passers by. Footage of passengers waiting at the bus stop is intercut with footage of the sea at Tantoura, a Palestinian village destroyed in 1948. The work ties together the fragmentary nature of Palestinian geography, loss and the act of waiting.
