Curator's note: The posters in this series, entitled, "Isreal-ity" were published and exhibited publicly by Peace NowThe name of the exhibit, as well as its content, is a take-off on the concept of the "reality" TV genre and is meant to convey a more honest and gritty sense of life in Israel than is often found in traditional, gallery or museum sponsored poster exhibits
