Tanya Uri Fading into the Foreground
(http://www.tanyaury.com)

The photo series Fading into the Foreground (work in progress) consists chiefly of portraits or snapshots of civilians who wear camouflage design or other military-style fashion on the street, while going about their daily business.
For years it has been in vogue to wear the soldiers uniform as clothing, but the trend has been even more marked this year, 2006. More than 400 photographs have been taken for this artwork, in Cologne (D), Budapest (HU), London (GB) and Jerusalem (IL) – the series will be continued in Berlin (D), Ljublin (PL) and Boston (USA) etc.
For the Emergency Room project, along with a text, as commentary on the proposed controversial stationing of German marines along the Lebanese coast to function as a “peacekeeping” force with UNIFIL, I have selected 16 of the Fading into the Foreground images taken recently in Cologne and Jerusalem, of young Palestinians, Israelis and Germans civilians, police and soldiers, wearing military-style clothing.
