With “Documents/Produits de Palestine”, Jean-Luc Moulène continues the visual strategies that he so successfully developed in his previous series of photographs “Trente-neuf objets de grève”.  These new thirteen “documents” of Palestine are, in the broadest sense, investigations of the different levels of meaning hidden in an image and how this meaning can be unveiled through association, critical observation and distance. Formally related to advertising, Moulène’s photographs break in a very subtle and sharp manner, the logic of simplicity and directness that is generally used in the commercial world to make their products desirable and morally acceptable. In this sense we are not looking at tins of tomato paste or bottles of olive oil, but rather at symbolic objects charged with social and political messages.
