How does one take a picture of Israel and not account for the conflict? The proverbial elephant in the room? To an outsider, inundated by the news, such an approach seems impossible, or maybe even morally irresponsible. Irina Rozovsky's book One To Nothing examines contemporary Israel as a complex, but contest site - never giving us an answer, but leaving clues throughout. The very title, One To Nothing, suggest a zero sum game, or at the very least a slight edge, but to whom or what? What is refreshing is that the winner never emerges. Is it Israel and Palestine locked in struggle, or man, Arab or Jew, struggling in a land of dust and swelter? Rozovsky's Isreal is a land of modern ruins and ancient mysteries that never offers solutions, only questions and riddles.
