Khalili’s three channel video installation, ‘Robbery in Area A’ (2013-16) is inspired by a bank robbery that took place in Ramallah – a city that after the Oslo Accords agreement in 1993 became part of Area A. By dividing the West Bank into Areas A, B, and C, the peace agreement allowed for a new economy to emerge and establish itself on banking systems, loans, and neo-liberal structures. The film exposes the geopolitics that the thieves understood and exploited to plan the successful robbery. These new conditions created a desire to act – to steal or resist – and Khalili’s film probes into how a bank robbery could be read as both.

The work consists of three videos: 31’ 03” & 7’ 38” & 9’ 47”
