Industrial grass lawns are the focus of a series of photographs begun in 1997. Each photograph displays a grass variety designed for a different environment and use. The series documents the bourgeoisification of the ideal image of green space in the local Zionist narrative: as the goal of ‘making the desert bloom’ is realized, the utopian, productive and socialist ideals are commodified.
These works were photographed in a 4×5 format and were reproduced as 130/150cm prints. Alongside them were exhibited studio photographs of detached strips of lawn, each of a different grass variety, which serves as a kind of index to the landscape images of meadows.
