It is authored by Hubertus von Amelunxen and the foreword is written by Kamal Boullata.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hatjecantz.de/steve-sabella-6142-1.html )〕 ''Archaeology of the Future'' was also published in 2014 by Maretti Editore〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.marettieditore.com/shop.php?idc=4&idp=154 )〕 as part of his retrospective solo exhibition at the International Center for Photography Scavi Scaligeri.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.comune.verona.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=44501 )〕 Sabella has published essays about art and the art market in journals, catalogues and books, including "Hostage" in From Galilee to the Negev by Stephen Shore in 2014. From the late 1990s through 2007 Sabella was based in Jerusalem and exhibited internationally as well as extensively throughout Palestine, including eleven solo shows. He was one of the commissioned artists for the Istanbul Collection donated to the Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo.

His work is held in museum collections including the British Museum in London, Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha and Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo; as well as in several public and private collections. ''In the Darkroom with Steve Sabella'', a short documentary film featuring Sabella and his work, by Nadia Johanne Kabalan was selected for the 2014 Al Jazeera International Documentary Film Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aljazeera.net/festival/films/2014/9/28/في-الغرفة-المظلمة?lng=1 )〕 and the 2015 Berlin Independent Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.berlinfest.com/?page_id=1501 )〕 Ikono TV made three short films on Sabella's work, featured him as Artist of the Month in January 2013, and Artist of the Month on IkonoMENASA in May 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stevesabella.com/tv-film-documentaries.html )〕 In 2007 Eyes Infinite Films produced two documentaries ''Jerusalem in Exile'' and ''Kan Yama Kan'' on his series of the same titles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://eyesinfinite.com/tag/activism/ )〕 Sabella is vocal about the social and political constructs that limit individual perceptions of freedom and agency. In his 2012 TEDx talk "Dare to Question My Name or Where I Come From", he told the story of his kidnapping in Gaza in 2005 that influenced his perception of identity and labels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26430T-Kyk0 )〕 During the war on Gaza in 2014, he released the statement of empowerment "A Declaration of Independence" which stated, "From this day onward, I declare that I am a citizen of planet earth and beyond. I am from everywhere and nowhere. No geography or culture defines me. I represent myself and my views only. I am not an ambassador of any country, not even the one of my birth, Palestine. I have uprooted myself and choose to plant my roots in the air, to always remain in transition. Free."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stevesabella.com/Declaration-of-Independence-August-18-2014.pdf )〕 ==Early career== During his life in Jerusalem, Sabella worked as both an artist and professional art photographer. As an official photographer for UNDP, UNICEF and many other organizations, he was one of the very few photographers with complete access to the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada which drastically limited Palestinians mobility. In response to the negative media representation of Palestine and Palestinians, he focused on capturing images that reflected the nuanced reality of daily life there. Pillars Magazine listed Sabella as one of the most established brands in Palestine in a list of the top ten for 2005. Sabella left Palestine in 2007 and established the ''Palestine Photo Bank'' with the mission of promoting and supporting a positive image of Palestine and its people. As he states, "The world is accustomed to seeing Palestine in a negative light; as victims, impoverished, and in a constant state of turmoil - something that has been imbued by the media over the decades. This is not to claim that occupation does not exist or that conditions are not hard for Palestine, but is just one way to give the Palestinian image justice. There is more to Palestine than what is currently portrayed. This is one way to counter the negative construction of the image of Palestine and Palestinians." In 2007 Sabella moved to London and from that point onwards focused solely on his art career. In 2010 he moved to Berlin where he is currently based. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Sabella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
