Karim Ben Khelifa

Main Prize - Finalist 2009
A former war photographer, Karim Ben Khelifa has now focused his camera on dissecting one of the world's most inflammatory conflicts, between Israel and the Palestinian Territories. This collection is a unique analysis of the conflict. Karim believes that by letting the fighters involved speak for themselves, and by bringing enemies face-to-face through his artwork, he can show the human dimension of war. He begins by asking opposing fighters three simple questions: Who are you? Who is your enemy? Why are you fighting?
