The Man Shadow
2015
Video
The video was made during April and May 2015 in the streets of Ramallah. Ramallah is the central city of the West Bank, usually quite busy and crowded during the day. Women are often seen going off for daily business and routine during the day, but rarely in evenings. At night time you scarcely meet women hanging out alone, they are usually accompanied by a man. This video is part of an experiment to find a solution to this social norm.
