An Archeology of Fear and Desire is Brenner’s contribution to This Place, an epic photographic project he conceived of in 2005. He imagined inviting artists from around the world to come to Israel “neither to praise nor condemn but to question and reveal, to look beyond the headlines and into the fault-lines.”

Twelve internationally acclaimed photographers traveled to Israel between 2009 and 2013, representing the most illustrious group of artists ever to turn their collective attention to Israel. A major traveling exhibition opened in Prague at the Dox Centre for Contemporary Art in October 2014 and now is travelling to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, opening in May. The show will then travel to the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, in October 2015 and to the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the following February. The exhibition is curated by Charlotte Cotton, an internationally acclaimed curator and the former head of the photography department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
