To describe the complexity of this ever-changing and multi-layered
terrain, Kremer creates aesthetic, orderly and beautiful
compositions that parallel the defense mechanisms developed to
protect Israelis from the painful reality of the current political
situation. Rather than confronting the Israeli occupation in the
way that it has been absorbed by the world's media, Kremer adopts a
more subtle approach. For him, the media's aggressive
representation of reality numbs people's sensibilities making them
callous to the suffering of others.Instead of shock, Kremer seeks
to challenge the viewer, using the landscape as a focus to
understand the overwhelming impact of the situation at the deepest
of levels. Four decades ago the historian and philosopher,
Yeshayahu Leibovich, forewarned that the Israeli occupation was a
cancerous disease in the heart of the nation. As Kremer himself
says, 'my goal is to reveal how every piece of land has become
infected with loaded sediments of the ongoing conflict'.
Hierdie gids bied die besoeker of belangstellende die geleentheid
om al die plekke in Pretoria en omgewing wat op die een of ander
wyse 'n verbintenis met die Anglo-Boereoorlog gehad het, te besoek.
'n Kort agtergrondskets word oor elke plek en die betrokke
historiese figure gegee. Plekke wat naby mekaar le, is in afdelings
saamgegroepeer. Tesame met die kaarte en kleurfoto's behoort dit
maklik te wees om enige besondere plek te vind.
