“Two white donkeys dyed with black stripes delighted Palestinian kids at a small Gaza zoo who had never seen a zebra in the flesh...” (Reuters, 8 October 2009). ‘The Atlas of the Conflict’ by Malkit Shoshan, founder and director of the architectural think tank FAST: Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory, maps the processes and mechanisms behind the shaping of Israel-Palestine over the past hundred years. It was published at the end of 2010 and used as the anchor point for a new project, ‘ZOO, or the letter Z, just after Zionism’, which among others searched for ways to deal with the notion of transformation: a book into an exhibition, the domestic into the wild, a zoo into a house, captivity into freedom, a donkey into a zebra. ‘ZOO, or the letter Z, just after Zionism’ starts at page number 437 of ‘The Atlas of the Conflict’ and continues into a fascinating exploration of ideas, snapshots and associations, that could be raised once seeing a white donkey tied with a rope, covered with beige tape and being transformed into a zebra. This in order to fulfill the desire of the Gaza's for normality, which in this case means possessing a zoo as a space for urban leisure.
