48 Khaled Barakeh Greatest Hits Greatest Hits is a project created out of real military operation titles. Khaled Barakeh discovered descriptive associations given to the words when naming a conflict between Arabian and Israeli forces, and found in each title did a visual article come to life. The titles were also commonly granted by Israeli, European or American governments and/or media, leaving the question on what exactly was the purpose of titling an event: The Rainbow War, in any way associated to the conflict itself. Digressing his interests towards this particular series of conflicts, gave answers to approximately 250 events, all named, and all archived by the artist, who then designs an ongoing project plan across the names he objects into realization.
