One of my favorite shooting locations in Israel is the Negev Brigade Monument situated near the city of Be'er Sheva. Designed by Dani Karavan back in the 1960's It constitutes a recognized symbol of the Negev and Beersheba. In addition to its strengths as a memorial, it was a precursor to the land art movement. The monument is made of raw concrete consisting of eighteen separate elements covering 10,000 square meters. My recent visit to the monument felt like a trip to an unknown land, an empty and deserted playground of geometries and textures. a trip to MARS.
