Infected Landscape:
Works by Shai Kremer
The Florida Museum of
Photographic Arts is
proud to present
“Infected
Landscape: Works by Shai
Kremer.”
Anyone who says the
earth cannot speak has
never listened. Early
humans felt that gods
resided within trees and
on mountain tops. They
believed that if anyone
damaged the trees and
earth, the gods would
unleash their holy
wrath. Turns out, our
ancestors were right.
Look at Shai Kremer’s
landscapes of the Holy
Land and notice how
thousands of years of
warfare have corroded
the vistas and scarred
the soil. The
Israeli-born Kremer
calls this terrain
“Infected Landscape”
with reason. To see this
territory in dispute
between Israelis and
Palestinians is to see
what that holy wrath has
wrought. But for Kremer,
the scarred landscape is
a stand-in for the
physiological trauma of
everyone who lives
there. - Joanne Milani,
FMoPA Curator
