Pejac is the knickname of a Spanish artist whose reputation is constantly rising due to his sensitive approach and political awareness through his minimalistic and deeply meaningful art. His paintings are spread on the walls of Moscow, Paris, London, Milan and Istanbul, while one of his latest projects is a four-intervention narrative with reference to the Palestinian refugees in Al Hussein, Amman Jordan.
Pejac removed the exterior plaster coat of local houses in an attempt to portray the stories of the Palestinian refugees residing in the camp, using the physical material damage caused by time as a metaphor for their sufferings. According to Pejac, the nearby Al-Hussein refugee camp was stablished in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war. Yet, it remains there.
