Book excerpt: A unique documentation of how ideology translated into colonialism, settlement, urbanization, infrastructure, and mechanized agriculture radically reshaped the environment of Palestine-Israel. The biblical metaphor of a "Land of Milk and Honey" has denoted for millennia a prophecy and promise for plenitude. This book, published in conjunction with the Israeli Pavilion at the seventeenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, examines the reciprocal relations between humans, animals, and the environment within the context of modern Palestine-Israel, and demonstrates how this promise has become an action-plan over the course of the twentieth century. Land. Milk. Honey investigates how colonialism, urbanization, and mechanized agriculture radically reshaped the environment and altered human-animal relationships. It shows how the celebrated metamorphosis of the region into a prosperous agricultural landscape was entangled with irreparable damage to the environment, as well as the disruption of human communities. And it highlights the predicaments that both the environment and its inhabitants are facing after the territory has, over a century, been the testbed of modernist aspirations for plenitude. The fundamental changes the region has undergone are portrayed through the stories of five local animals: cow, goat, honeybee, water buffalo, and bat. These case-studies and analysis construct a spatial history of a place in five acts: Mechanization, Territory, Cohabitation, Extinction, and the Post-Human. A rich collection of literary excerpts, historical documents, archival photos, as well as short original vignettes reveals the story of this remarkable transfiguration and redesign.

Book excerpt: This thesis examines three case studies from the 2010s at the Israeli Pavilion in Venice in which Tsibi Geva, Sigalit Landau, and Gal Weinstein use the pavilion as a frame to reflect on the current state of the country and Israeli society. Through the digging of holes, camouflaging of the far;ade and infestation of mold, I argue that the artists' structural interventions and installations perform a critique of the nation which operates on different registers. In Geva's exhibition Archeology of the Present, I examine the tension between international and vernacular aesthetics through the hybridized visual language Geva enacts in his exhibition. Drawing on his use of modernist elements such as the grid and canonical Israeli symbols, I maintain that Geva's installation works extend and build upon the Pavilion's position as a hybridized space by adapting aspects of Modernism and "Orientalizing" them to create a vernacular visual language rooted within the locale oflsrael. Through Weinstein's Sun Stand Still, I turn towards representations of the nation and constructed national mythologies, examining how Weinstein uses materiality and installations disrupting the Modernist architecture of the Pavilion as a means of critiquing how the nation forged its image on a global stage. Drawing on the structure's tie to the spread of Modernism in Israel and its influence in forging the country's image as a progressive and global nation, I argue that Weinstein's installations serve as an allegory for the nation, his manipulation of the Pavilion's interior functioning as a metaphorical critique of the state and the "outdated" myths central to its image. Lastly, in Landau's One Man's Floor is Another Man's Feelings, I focus on the charged relationships between Israel and its neighbors through Landau's poetic and political works around themes of infrastructure, shared resources and territory. Site-specific to the Pavilion, the interventions I examine reflect on the malleability of the structure, how its architectural design was meant to represent the nation (both then and now), and how the arts and the position of artists figure into national representation (and subversion) within the context of transnational art fairs.
