Exploring Archaeological Mysteries

At What Lies Beneath, we delve into the intricate layers of Haifa’s buried landscape, uncovering fragments that unsettle familiar narratives of history and progress. Moving between excavation and interpretation, the project examines how the act of unearthing — whether of a vessel, a wall, or a myth — is also an act of construction. Each discovery raises questions about who defines knowledge, what is preserved, and what is left to decay. By treating material remains not as static artifacts but as dynamic agents of meaning, What Lies Beneath invites viewers to reconsider archaeology itself: not as a pursuit of objective truth, but as a dialogue between evidence, imagination, and the politics of memory.
