On a black-and-white polaroid from 1930 we see a Jewish girl with a yellow star, as a symbol of identification. The other polaroids present “tags” posted by gangs from various American neighborhoods, as an emblem to mark their territory. The uppermost photograph is a portrait or Baruch Goldstein, an Israeli terrorist of American origin. On February 25th, 1994, he opened fire on a group of praying Palestinians in the *Cave of the Patriarchs* in Hebron. Goldstein was member of a group of radical Jews who took up the Jewish star to wear as a power symbols. It also became their emblem to mark their territory. The last series of photographs show the American six-pointed star that police officers wear. As a form, it has similarities to the Jewish star, but in this case it is an emblem of law enforcement. *Shooting* Stars reflects on the different ways this symbol is seen and used, and the complexity of meaning this brings. "},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"In elke foto uit het werk *Shooting Stars* (1994) zit een referentie naar de zespuntige Jodenster. *Shooting Stars* gaat over de interpretatie en de betekenisverschuiving van een symbool en hoe de inhoud ervan kan veranderen afhankelijk van tijd, plaats en gebruiker. Op een zwart-witpolaroid uit 1930 zien we een Joods meisje met een gele ster, als herkenningstekening. De andere foto’s tonen ‘tags’ van bendes uit verschillende Amerikaanse wijken. Ze gebruiken de ster als een embleem om hun territorium af te bakenen. De bovenste foto toont het portret van Baruch Goldstein (1956 – 1994), een Israëlische terrorist van Amerikaanse afkomst. Op 25 februari 1994 opende hij het vuur op een groep biddende Palestijnen in de *Grot der Patriarchen* in Hebron. Goldstein maakte deel uit van een groep radicale Joden die opnieuw de Joodse ster introduceerden en dragen als machtssymbool. De laatste reeks foto’s toont figuren die de Amerikaanse zespuntige politiester dragen. Qua vorm komt deze overeen met de Joodse ster, maar hier is het een embleem van machtshandhaving van de wet.\r\n*Shooting Stars* gaat over de verschillende manier van kijken naar dit symbool en de complexiteit ervan.
