November 2016. Exhibition space at Birzeit University in Ramallah, Palestine. A group of remarkable curators, including Vera Tamari and Yazid al-Ani, launched an exhibition programme a few years ago focusing on Palestinian cities. I am lucky enough to see the one on Gaza. Eloquent display of objects designed by students of the art and design department of the university who, seriously and ironically, document artefacts such as keychains and pens. When I see these “archaeologists of the present” at work, I immediately wonder if they have seen Jean-Luc Moulène’s Objets de Grève or Christian Boltanski’s autofictional showcases. In the end, it doesn’t matter much… “You didn’t see anything in Gaza”, a Japanese voice whispers in my ear.
