In connection with the current events in Israel and Palestine, Noorderlicht organizes an international project titled Confronting Views (click for more information). Nine photographers draw a picture, in diverse series, about the ongoing conflict. Each in their own way shows the present situation and background, the pattern of action and reaction and the weight of history, belief and violence.

The photographers who participate are World Press winner Larry Towell (CDN, Magnum), Didier Ben Loulou (IL), Antoine d'Agata (FR), David Sauveur (FR), Harry Cock (NL), Henrik Saxgren (DK),Paolo Pellegrin (I, Magnum), Bruno Stevens (B) and Dinu Mendrea (IL).

Confronting Views does not take position, but shows a photographic approach of how to deal with the conflict, ranging from hard news photography to a more figurative interpretation. Because of that, the exhibition is not only an impression of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation, but also a confrontation of photographic visions.
