From the Land of Miracles reflects on the fragile balance between peace and war on the daily life of Israelis and Palestinians.
Wendy Sue Lamm does not hide the wounds of the everyday reality born of conflict. She juxtaposes attacks and retaliations with delicate, bittersweet ironies. After years in Jerusalem photographing Israelis and Palestinians, Wendy Sue Lamm has become one of the most sincere visual interpreters of the Land of Miracles.
“Wendy Sue Lamm's vision...does not so much frame the scene as enter into it, drawing us in as well and forcing us to participate... It is hard not to see these truly intense images as a powerful metaphor for the forces that tenaciously block the road to peace - a peace that would be a great sign not only for the Middle East, but also for the whole world.” --Giancarlo Pauletto, Curator, Museum of Modern Art, Pordenone, Italy
