Label TextSince 1999 Kremer has set about documenting the "ominous imprint of the military on the Israeli landscape - and reflectively, on Israeli society." Working in color in a beautiful documentary style, Kremer's vision is both clinical and emotional. The traditional Zionist attitude of a poetic affinity and love of the scorched and often barren Israeli landscape blends with the awe and disgust with the remnants and elements of Israel's longstanding violent struggles with their Arab and Palestinian neighbors. -Julie Saul Gallery
