Title Settlement.
Scope and content Nick Waplington lived in Israel from spring of 2008 until the summer of 2010, creating a photographic survey of more than two hundred Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He returned through 2012, both to complete this project and to work on other projects related to the region, including a sculptural series of water tanks which were transformed into ‘racing cars’.Often travelling alone, he explored the landscape, architecture, and the contradictory nature of settler identity. With this work Waplington focused on new immigrants from the Jewish diaspora paying particular attention to families from Britain, Canada, South Africa, Australia and the United States, who had given up other lives to help create settlements in the hills of the West Bank. His project combines intimate family portraits with images of the natural and built environment.
