An Extraordinary Event, 2018

An Extraordinary Event, 2018, was based on Hamdi Bey’s photographs of those finds displayed in the citrus grove immediately upon their excavation, with workers and diggers standing often in the background. Zaatari erases their central object to highlight the location and people who appear in the background.
