Ramallah Tours
Intervention with a palestinian taxi in Israel
The project Ramallah Tours consists of two parts belonging together: one local part on the street in public space and one corresponding part in the internet by a website.
A taxi is parking in different cities of Israel, coated with the typical color and labelling of palestinian, collective taxis, which numerously appear in Ramallah but not in Israel – and may not appear in Israel. The car is sounding, excited by four transducers at the car body (door, window, back, front). The self-sounding vehicle is irritating the passers-by and draws attention to the inscription at the car:
Ramallah Tours: safe & easy.
2009- Umm el Fahem Art Gallery

- Goethe-Institute Tel Aviv
By the english-hebrew-arabic website the visitors find a travel agency called Ramallah Tours – safe & easy, which offers tours from Israel to Ramallah/Palestine. The website contains a booking service, a permission download service and feedback form. The additional highlite site announces an exhibition on the future of Palestine in Ramallah:
Shrinking Palestine – An Architectual Challenge.
