THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT BY KLAUS THYMANN
Commissioned by The New York Times, Klaus spent time in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza town, documenting a group of athletes and acrobats calling themselves the Gaza Parkour Team. With political turmoils, mistrust and war raging around, they practise on the local graveyard which serves as their training ground. Under the sky where Israeli drones burst in on the horizon, in a reality of refugee camps and Hamas checkpoints, they believe that one day parkour will become a permit to life out of the Gaza Strip.
