Read recent reviews of This Place:

“For ‘This Place,’ [Ewald] worked with sixth graders in a kibbutz and a Bedouin village, the owner of a market stall in Jerusalem, students at a military academy, and Gypsy children in the Old City, among many others. Their snapshots of ceremonies, meals, landmarks, animals, friends, and family gatherings combine for a fragmented, random, and disarmingly intimate view of a place far more multicultural than its politicians care to admit.”

“Infused with the casual precision of intimacy, these images could be excerpts from exceptional scrapbooks or Instagram feeds. Weddings and other rituals take place, old friends meet up, meals are shared, newborns are shown off, teenagers turn the cameras on their friends and themselves. Whatever the time or place, the heart of the matter is regularly reached here — and throughout this moving and insightful show.”
