WHICH ONES ARE THE TERRORISTS

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2008

Conflict is unavoidable. We deal with it every day, with friends, and with enemies-and even in our own minds. "Which Ones Are the Terrorists?" is a compilation of unscripted commentaries, collected from the West Bank and from around the world about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, inspired by the prospect of peace in the Middle East, collected from the author's Web installation [West-Bank.cam] from 2000 until 2007, and includes 18 digital paintings by the author. A short preface places the project in the context of the life of a working artist in New York City.

In 2006, he started scuba diving and is developing an increasingly enthusiasm for tech, wreck and cave diving and studies Japanese. In 2007, he published his first book "Anti Biography," a fast paste memoir of secret pleasures, dark desires and the transformation of a workingman into a radical artist.
