The Zurich Photographer Olivia Heussler has documented and traveled throughout the Israeli occupied territorries, the West Bank and the Gaza strip since 1980. After her most recent trip she concludes: «Despite the current peace negotiations the rift between the Israelis and the Palestinians has become wider.» For the inhabitans beyond Jerusalem, Israeli policy has disastrous social consequences. Strong opposition has arisen even in Israel. Olivia Heussler belongs to the young generation of concerned photographers. She does not show the spectacular events; her pictures subtly document the consequences of political struggles on the private sphere of live, where history is felt most strongly.
