It was happening, they gave me a uniform, which was much bigger than my actual size. They showed me the tiniest room with 4 bunk beds without functional air conditioning and told me this is going to be my home for the next few weeks or months. It was August 2019 and the air in Israel was so warm. I imagined that this is the feeling you get when you visit India for the first time. My friend once told me the air in India is as warm as the air in a sauna. But I have never been to India, and right now I was wearing an Israeli Army uniform and standing in a base situated in the middle of nowhere, far away from the civilization.
Even though I am a photographer I didn't plan to take photos or make any serious photography collection of my stay. However, after a few weeks I could not help myself... I took my camera and since that nobody could stop me.
I captured an ordinary day in Israeli army base. This photo collection is a little bit different then the following book, but I believe you can feel - it - the essence though my photos.
