San Pedro V: The Hope I Hope. 2005

In 2005 Tracey Rose decided to fly to Jerusalem to address the political situation of which the wall dividing Israel from Palestine is a symbol. As she recalls, “earlier in the day there are fewer patrols. I painted my body and we hired a car and drove up to the wall at sunrise”. Once there, Rose got out of the car and played the Israeli national anthem on a guitar – badly. … Although a guard in a watchtower can be seen in the background of one of Rose’s images, she left the scene without being arrested.
