Zeyad Dajani
Zannaanah
“Zannanah” (2007): Dajani presented a sound piece for his contribution for the Jerusalem Show titled, "Zannanah" which is Arabic for buzzing and is what Palestinians call the unmanned drones the Israeli army uses over the occupied territories, especially Gaza. These planes, which are often armed, provide accurate real time video pictures at very low cost, and are used for both locating and targeting Palestinian civilians. They fly at relatively high altitudes and are rarely seen, but can easily be heard in emitting a recognizable buzzing sound. The sound work was installed at Spafford Children's Centre, Haret al Sa’idiyeh, Old City.
