Summary:
A unique documentation of how ideology translated into colonialism, settlement, urbanization, infrastructure, and mechanized agriculture radically reshaped the environment of Palestine-Israel. The biblical metaphor of a ''Land of Milk and Honey'' has denoted for millennia a prophecy and promise for plenitude. This book, published in conjunction with the Israeli Pavilion at the seventeenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, examines the reciprocal relations between humans, animals, and the environment within the context of modern Palestine-Israel, and demonstrates how this promise has become an action-plan over the course of the twentieth century. ''Land. Milk. Honey'' investigates how colonialism, urbanization, and mechanized agriculture radically reshaped the environment and altered human-animal relationships. It shows how the celebrated metamorphosis of the region into a prosperous agricultural landscape was entangled with irreparable damage to the environment, as well as the disruption of human communities. And it highlights the predicaments that both the environment and its inhabitants are facing after the territory has, over a century, been the testbed of modernist aspirations for plenitude.

Summary:
The official catalog for the United Arabic Emirates' National Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, ''In Plain Sigh''t was conceived as a collection of travels through aridity. Contributors were asked to explore the relationship between travel, travel writing and the built environment. What emerged was a diverse set of positions and attitudes towards travel writing that ranged from documenting journeys through historical texts and images in search of lost relationships with aridity and the practices it engenders, to authors who traveled to contemporary arid spaces in search of nuance and abundance, and essays that explore the blurry and conceptual edges of aridity. Alongside the travel-based contributions, the book presents a series of field notes, ostensibly framed as research findings. In the field notes, curator Faysal Tabbarah attempts to narrate the places, materials and tactics that he encountered on numerous trips. Buttressing these field notes are photographic series depicting the range of tactics used in constructing Al Hajar’s built environment. Addressing aridity across time, space and ideas, In Plain Sight recasts the genre of travel literature, challenging the ways in which arid environments have historically been depicted.
