The Concrete Maps project investigates the effacement of the Palestinian villages to allow for the manufacturing of an Israeli landscape. The maps illustrate the names of the demolished Palestinian villages since the 1920s. The grid-like layout echoes the initial Israeli master plans used to survey Palestinian villages. The Israeli settlements’ names are typographically superimposed over the villages’ names layer suggesting the “replacement process.” A cement map is then stitched on top of the canvas structure. The concrete map is used to illustrate the construction force present in the occupation.
