Workaround, n.
‘A workaround is a bypass of a recognized problem in a system. It is typically a temporary fix that implies that a genuine solution to the problem is needed. Theoretically, workarounds are always replaced by fixes; in practice, people often find themselves living with workarounds for long periods of time.Typically they will not respond well to further pressure from a system beyond the original design. Placing pressure on a workaround may result in later failures in the system.’

In collaboration with students of International Academy of Art Palestine we have been looking for and documenting workarounds in the everyday life of people living on the Westbank. Because of the political and geographical situation life is made difficult in a number of ways. In such a situation you have to use what you can gain access to, to the fullest and invent new ways and methods to make your everyday work.
