An exhibition titled "Love Zone" by photographers Hadas Itskovitz and the photographer explores the complexities of relationships between individuals from conflicting groups. Over the past decade, the duo, based in Amsterdam, has photographed couples from diverse backgrounds, including Jewish-Palestinian and Turkish-Kurdish pairings, who choose to build a life together.
The exhibition, curated by Noga Or-Yam, delves into how conflict permeates the lives of these couples, influencing their identities, memories, and how they are perceived by their surroundings. It questions what happens when individuals designated as belonging to opposing sides opt for closeness instead of separation.
