newyorker:

“My first trip to Israel and Palestine was an intuitive leap,” Forsell writes in the book. “Nothing turned out as planned. In this state of confusion, I started photographing the everyday conflict and the people living in it. Alongside the actual attacks, clashes and casualties, there is a conflict going on within each person in Israel and Palestine. Ordinary people are making extraordinary choices to get by. Reinforced by the small things that build up hate and the difficult choices everyone is forced to make, the entire region is pervaded by a certain psychological state of mind. People look, but they don’t see.”

From 2008 to 2010, Linda Forsell photographed life in Israel and Palestine, and her work has recently been published as a book, “Life’s a Blast.”  Click-through to see more images from her collection: http://nyr.kr/LCxKig
