French artists JR and Marco went to the Middle East to figure out why Palestinians and Israelis couldn’t find a way to get along together.
After a week, we had a conclusion with the same words: these people look the same; they speak almost the same language, like twin brothers raised in different families.
It’s obvious, but they don’t see that. We must put them face to face. They will realize.
We want that, at last, everyone laughs and thinks when he sees the portrait of the other and his own portrait.
The Face2Face project is to make portraits of Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job and to post them face to face, in huge formats, in unavoidable places, on the Israeli and the Palestinian sides.
We hope that this project will contribute to a better understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.
Today, “Face to face” is necessary. Within a few years, we will come back for “Hand in hand”.
