 <\/p>\n

The New York Times featured a series of photographs by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Brenner titled Embracing Ambiguity in Israel <\/em>on The Lens Blog. Brenner refers to this series on his website as an Archeology of Fear and Desire<\/em> , which, is connected to a much larger project that he initiated called This Place<\/em>.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
All of this work was born of Brenner’s relentless pursuit of\u00a0 his own identity (and seemingly all Jews on a certain level). For more than twenty years he has traced the Jewish Diaspora around the world to over 40 countries,\u00a0 a trek that ultimately lead him to Israel —\u00a0 both literally and conceptually\u00a0 —\u00a0 in an effort to define Jewish identity in the modern world.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
This Place<\/em> attempts to tackle this gargantuan task by unleashing a team of twelve photographers into Israel to compile a visual survey that digs deeper than the surface depictions popularized in the international news media.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
From the outset, Brenner acknowledged to himself that no single vantage point \u2013 including his own \u2013 could speak of the complexity of this historic and contested place and its shaping of contemporary lives; to begin to comprehend the radical dissonance of this place would require a multiplicity of practices and perspectives.<\/em><\/h5>\n
