In a series of photographs Dalit Gilboa exposes the charged relationships between man and his land. Gilboa documents with her camera a location that can be Anyplace. An undefined scenery, untraceable, neutralized of culturally identifying elements such as: electricity poles, advertising billboards, local greenery, cars, addresses, objects and people.

The land, though unclassified is visibly appropriated, raped by the bulldozers, marked with concrete stripes, polluted with groundwork marks. The estrangement between the nowhere and the marks of work-on-location form a metaphor ever-present in Gilboa’s work: Life on the edge.

The naked photography devoid of manipulation of composition, color, sharpening and correction, positions the gaping abyss, the discomfort, the lurking catastrophe, exposed yet formidable. The observer struggles to determine if the images represent a beginning or end, destruction or construction, genesis or death. The mounds, the barely sprouting flowers, the hidden grove, the concrete structures, the stones, the twigs or horizon shot on the same plot in different hours and seasons account for the delusion. The details create a riddle on existence. The land, is it enslaved or labored? Man was or will-be? Gilboa, with innocence and strength demands the viewer for concentration, dedication and attitude regarding destruction and growth.
