Ramallah, a Palestinian city set within the Israeli-occupied territory of the West Bank, is plastered with posters picturing suicide bombers, resistance fighters, and other Palestinian militants who have died— or martyred themselves— for their cause. In 2003, while covering the violence and conflict that permeates the West Bank, Dutch photojournalist Ad van Denderen turned to these tattered posters to tell the story of the area, ultimately publishing them in a single volume for Useful Photography 4 by Kessels Kramer.
With this new project “So blue, so blue” in color this time ,the method is the same even though it is very different aesthetically Ad Van Denderen spent 5 years travelling around the Mediterean to show the absurdity of globalisation.
