Punctuated Land explores the quiet and enduring legacies of conflict and the historical and political  forces that enable and perpetuate its normalisation. This is not to say that conflict takes place quietly, but rather that my focus lies in questioning the way we see and perceive conflict by exploring how it infiltrates silently and violently into daily lives, homes and minds. This is done photographically by visiting the West Bank, the occupied territories of Palestine, and tracing Israel’s de facto borders with its neighbouring countries.  

Dana Ariel is an artist, researcher and lecturer based in London. She completed her doctoral research at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. In her practice, she explores conceptual, political, material and poetic methods of unlearning through experimentation with photographic printing processes and hybrid printmaking techniques, video, sound and text. Her work has been exhibited internationally in various venues and events in the UK, Israel, Germany, Sweden and France.
