Air Conditioning. 2022
Full colour inkjet print on matt fibre photo paper; 90 x 5475 cm.
Commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation.

The evolving graduated image maps the Israeli army’s sonic occupation of the Lebanese airspace over a 15-year period, from 2006 to the present. Following the 2006 July War between Israel and Lebanon, and the subsequent United Nation Security Council ‘resolution’ in August 2006, Israel commenced with a different form of warfare—an invisible, auditory conditioning of the Lebanese airspace, initially with F-35s, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones.
