Bologna, 25 August 2004
Tickets Travel comes from notes hastily scribbled on scraps of paper during a three-week stay in Palestine in August 2004. They tell of an international student at the University of Birzeit and the forms that gradually took meetings with the people of this land and their experiences. These are just short stories of memories and emotions hanging by a thread that binds together the secret pages. I tried to hide between the lines as possible and not to be overly partisan. I did not succeed. Every single word is in fact a photograph of a piece of my adventure, and this is my album. Also remaining are not impartial, I obviously took part of a land whose flesh is torn apart by a plow stranger.
PS The title is not very original and I can not hide it. This is the cast of the title of a poem (given in last page) of the Palestinian poet Samih Al Qasim, the texts here and there round the inks of these pages.
