The Gas Station. 2007 - 2009

House No. 197 explores the site and experience of marginality via the architecture and geography of the refugee camps. Al Malhi’s project focuses on panoramic views of Shufhat Refugee Camp in Jerusalem, taken from hills surrounding the camp. Through photography and video, Al Malhi investigates the architectural structures of the camp and their continuous transformation as well as the experience of claustrophobia, containment and the monotony of time within such an environment, which is also explored in the video work The Gas Station.
