Craziest moments

In an experimental series, I create AI-generated images that illustrate selected news items or other stories. Most images will be based on my own photography, sometimes the image is completely generated by AI. This experiment will never replace my work as a photographer. I am exploring the possibilities and will clearly indicate if I have used AI.

Silwan is located at the foot of the walled Old City, which contains important holy places for Jews, Muslims and Christians.'

'In fact, the residents themselves have to pay the costs for the demolition of their own homes, from the bulldozers to clearing the rubble and the salaries of the police officers who supervise the demolition. In desperation, some residents demolish their houses themselves to avoid the expensive bill from the municipality.'
