Conceived as an artistic-ethnographic project, Interstice: Life in the Firing Zone 918 is a document about the cave-dwelling communities of Masafer Yatta and their unique way of life, their challenges and their transformations in a changing landscape.
For more than a year the photographer Eduardo Soteras has been spending extended periods of time based in Khirbeit At-Tuba, sharing the life of the communities.
