War Zone Aesthetics
For me, the first encounter with the aesthetics of terror took place in front of the TV. Growing up in Tel Aviv, one could not help seeing images of state and underground terror on television. During the 1990s, when the phenomenon of Palestinian suicide bombers first emerged, it had a distinct visualization—suicide bombers’ videos. These […]
