"Quiet Transfer"

"Rachel Cunningham is a London based artist whose photographic practice explores various themes surrounding photography and representation. She combines her practice with an interest in art history, especially the place of still life in both photography and painting.

‘Quiet Transfer’ explores the Arab-Israeli conflict through the Israeli policy of house demolition and settlement expansion in East Jerusalem. The images show fragments of Palestinian houses demolished in 2007-2008. The fragments were collected in Jerusalem following the demolitions and then posted to the artist in London. These still life images are shot in the style of archeological or museum artifacts, lit with inky blackness and high contrast, they resonate with religious and political importance."
