Abraham Abraham follows a unique event of a temporary "change of hands" of what is considered to be one of the ancient and sacred burial caves in the Jewish and Islamic believes. The cave, always a place of worship for both religions, has been physically divided for separate use since the Baruch Goldstein Massacre in 1994. The current status quo is: 80% of the cave's area is a Masque and 20% is a Synagogue

However, ten time a year, in accordance with special holidays and under close Israeli military control, the cave passes hands for 24 hours only, enabling each side to have full use of all the chambers of the cave.

The work Abraham Abraham follows such a "switch" on the occasion of a Muslim holiday, July 2012.

In a matter of hours, the Jewish area is cleared out of all Jewish artifacts, inspected by the Army for security, and stands vacant for a few short moments, before the Muslims enter with their own artifacts and turn the empty rooms into a masque for the next 24 hours.
