Arabic translation:“This is a complete structure no question about it...if it collapses on our enemies it collapses on us.” Mahmoud DarwishArtists' Statement:Since the first Intifada in 1987 the United Nations has announced several laws that are dedicated to humane or political issues regarding Palestine. However, in 2009, the situation remains unacceptable and represents a crisis that the whole world must face all the time. So, as part of the sustainability of Palestine project, Intifadart, this poster titled "Laws", represents one law every year since 1986 until 2009 as a "complete structure no question about it, if it collapses on our enemies it collapses on us.”Curator's note: Darwish was talking about organized Zionism when he mentioned a "complete structure". In this statement the artist is paraphrasing Darwish and drawing a parallel to another "complete structure" that of the legalistic, bureaucratic and ultimately self-sustaining system of the United Nations system. According to the artist this structure, which was in theory designed to alleviate the injustices suffered by the Palestinian people, instead perpetuates them.
