Photography of the Wall in Palestine is a site of visual and political struggle. Through conversations with Palestinian and Israeli photographers, I shed light on the visual and national anxiety that photography of the Palestinian landscape produces in the shadow of the Wall's construction. Building on Gil Hochberg's conceptualization of visual politics, through which the Israeli state dominates the visual field, I argue that the significance of Israeli photographers’ work lies in visualizing what is made invisible by the state. For Palestinians, the significance of their photography of the landscape lies in resisting the visual politics dictated by the Israeli regime. I conclude by offering questions about the role of photography in subverting visual politics in Palestine and Israel
