Abstract: This article explores a photographic practice that takes place in Jordan and Palestine. The practice consists of photographing sites on the other side of the borders. These photographs are shared through social media, and most of the pictures share a message either informative of the landscape and/or carries within it political and decolonial claims in its caption. This article seeks to understand how the borders and boundaries are conceived, represented, contested, and re-configured through this specific practice. I argue that this practice is produced by the borders but is committed at de-bordering, re-ordering, and de-othering a territory divided due to the colonial intervention and the Israeli occupation.
