DESTINATION CHECKPOINTS
Photos and videos by Ariane Arlotti (CH)

Swiss artist Ariane Arlotti is exploring the intimate relation between security and tourism industries in Israel/Palestine context. Her project DESTINATION CHECKPOINTS summarises the visual experience gathered during her visits to the West Bank, in form of a mobile video installation in an ambulance car and a photo exhibition.
Ariane Arlotti provides an aesthetic experience of public security, through the images, sounds and rhythms that render the notion itself evident, figurable, and therefore plastic. Destination Checkpoints is an invitation on an unusual journey to the West Bank, a place transformed by the West Bank barrier, the colonies, and the many checkpoints which, as a part of everyday life for the Palestinians, limit their horizons. The project took form during the several trips Ariane Arlotti made to the West Bank. These trips led her to deeply explore the idea of tourists wondering around in an ultra-secured context, and the travellers’ ability to position themselves based solely on an image portrayed by the authorities in order to appear welcoming.
Her challenge was to bring out an aesthetic feeling from experiencing the installations used for control and repression. At what point does the power of representation turn into the representation of power, via codes of perception induced by visible media and the dynamics existing between those media? To what extent are aesthetic feelings drawn from the existence of power…fear, or security?
