YUULA BENIVOLSKI


Asks the question: what constitutes a weapon? During confrontations at the checkpoint in Bethlehem, Palestine, Palestinian kids throw stones at soldiers and Israeli soldiers shoot back with bullets and tear gas.

I collected 9 stones around the checkpoint and photographed them, portrait style, using their size and weight as titles.
