Workshop at Bezalel Art Academy Jerusalem, in collaboration with Goldsmiths College:

New photographic and media technologies create possibilities for generating alternative documentary practices, which in turn allow to re-imagine and re-image the future. While archives and their associated documentary practices are traditionally oriented towards the past, the innovation of this project lies in its attempt to produce new imaging strategies capable of anticipating future events.
An event of violence is a regular occurrence that involves repetitive patterns of behavior played out in similar kinds of spaces by a familiar cast of characters. The Forensic Futures project sets out to document the conditions that enable violence. It re-imagines and re-images existing spaces and activities in anticipation of the occurrence of future events. While the specific histories in which these images might eventually participate can never be known in advance, the very existence of political violence in conjunction with a media regime and related set of documentary practices, brings the future into the present as a potential reality.

A Documentary Project between the Centre for Research Architecture (Forensic Architecture project, UK), Bezalel Academy of art and Design, Department of Photography, the Department Architecture, and Yesh Din, Volunteers for Human Rights.
