Miki Kratsman and Boaz Arad’s work Untitled, 2003, was photographed at the E crossing, and documents the flow of people streaming into Israel in the early morning hours. The static camera captures a growing number of men pouring out of the crossing after long hours of waiting in impossible conditions. Surprisingly, one might say that they look almost happy. The dissonance between their joyful expressions and the knowledge that they are headed towards another day of grueling work, at whose end they will remain illegally in Israel or return to Gaza only to repeat the same process the following day, is at once difficult and elusive.
