Thomas Struth: "Outskirts of Ramallah" 

The photograph "Outskirts of Ramallah" by Thomas Struth was taken in 2011 as part of the international photography project "This Place" initiated by Frédéric Brenner. It is intended to bring together artists of different nationalities, religions and biographies, such as Jeff Wall, Joseph Koudelka, Stephen Shore or Thomas Struth, to explore Israel and the West Bank photographically from their own cultural and religious backgrounds and to select motifs themselves. The subjective view was expressly desired. In terms of scope and objective, "This Place" is comparable to photographic projects from past decades - such as the famous call by the Farm Security Administration to photograph the USA during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
