Israel and Palestine............
.
When we met in 2005, we decided to go together in the Middle-East to figure out why Palestinians and Israelis couldn't find a way to get along together.
We then traveled across the Israeli and Palestinian cities without speaking much. Just looking to this world with amazement.
This holly place for Judaism, Christianity and Islam.This tiny area where you can see mountains, sea, deserts and lakes, love and hate, hope and despair embedded together.
After a week, we had a conclusion with the same words: these people look the same; they speak almost the same language, like twin brothers raised in different families.
A religious covered woman has her twin sister on the other side. A farmer, a taxi driver, a teacher, has his twin brother in front of him. And he his endlessly fighting with him.
It's obvious, but they don't see that.
We must put them face to face. They will realize.
We want that, at last, everyone laughs and thinks when he sees the portrait of the other and his own portrait.
The Face2Face project is to make portraits of Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job and to post them face to face, in huge formats, in unavoidable places, on the Israeli and the Palestinian sides.
.
What a fantastic concept and it's come to fruition, they've even pasted that fucking wall Israel built. Art is power. Rock on.

I'm gonna post quite a few of these because, well I just should and you should see them. Now if we could only get these guys to post the same deal with North and South Koreans, Shiite and Sunni Iraqis, Talban Afghanis and other Afghanis, Americans and anyone not "like" them and we may solve a shitload of the what ails this world.
