| Title |
Daybreak. |
|---|---|
| Scope and content |
During his first visit to Israel in October 2010, Jeff Wall came upon a scene of Bedouin olive pickers sleeping on a farm near Mitzpe Ramon, which sits in the shadow of a large prison.He returned for the next harvest in October 2011 to recreate the scene and make his image ‘Daybreak’. Setting up camp at a nearby motel, with the laundry room converted into a makeshift lab, he worked with a team of Israeli assistants, following the same routine each day. They woke before dawn to set up the shot and just as the sun rose, they would make several exposures. Wall and his assistants then spent the rest of the day processing the film, scanning, and reviewing the results in preparation for the next day’s shoot. Wall spent three weeks in Israel to create this image, which will be published as a book along with an essay by Ariella Azoulay. |
