about the show.

An art installation disguised as an estate agency draws attention to Israel’s occupation and destruction of Palestinian land. Created by Darren Cullen under the name Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives, the work critiques what he describes as a systematic effort to erase Palestinians through mundane mechanisms like property rights and planning laws. The shop features stark imagery, including a JCB digger smashing through a wall, homes built on skulls, a bomb about to hit a Palestinian tent, and a replica rifle offered “free with every new home.” It aims to highlight the banality of violence and the complicity of international actors in ongoing atrocities.
