Tanya Habjouqa's Project 'A Sacred Space Oddity' exhibited by BredaPhoto

HAT Exhibition 3.jpeg

The transmedia project by Jordanian-born photographer Tanya Habjouqa is about the discrepancy between our image and the reality of today’s Middle East. The image that is regularly shown in the media of the region is that of spectacular confrontations between the Israeli army and Palestinian youth. In A Space Oddity, commissioned by BredaPhoto, the photographer goes in search of a different reality: the tensions and possibilities of life during – and under – occupation. The project combines still and moving images, sound and stereographs that together make the absurdity of the landscape almost tangible.
