The Wall

A large faux-cement wall covered with sporadic spray paint figures flanked the entrance to the Palace of Arts. This work by the Lebanese visual artist/choreographer Walid Aouni won him one of the 5 Hathour prizes of the Biennale. Aouni reconstructs the wall separating the West Bank from the Occupied Territories as "an impression of terror, and an expression of protest".
