Images of artists at work at an Artists' Colony settled in 1953 in the Palestinian village of Ein Houd, Haifa, accompanied by the voice of Gaza-based photographer Rehaf Al Batniji reading stories from Sharif Kanaana and Basam Al Kabeh's 1989 ethnographic monograph: Ein Houd. Ein Hod has been widely represented in art and anthropology precisely because it is one of the only Palestinian villages emptied and depopulated but exceptionally not destroyed during the creation of the state of Israel. On the contrary, some five years after its some 700-residents (mostly from the Abu al-Hayja family) were forcibly expelled in 1948, a former Zurich-based Dadaist artist, Marcel Janco advocated that artists settle and renovate it to a utopian artist village. This was to counter the tide of concrete modernism, but ran alongside it in transforming the entire terrain, its history, people, architecture, flora and fauna, into an Israeli one.
