In \u201cSoil Exchange\u201d he asked soldiers from Kibbutz Hatzor to collect soil in bags from the borders on which they were serving, and when they returned to empty the bags of soil onto the land of the kibbutz, and vice versa \u2013 bags containing soil from the kibbutz were sent with the soldiers to be scattered in the combat zones. In \u201cBread and War\u201d, Or Ner traveled to Sinai following a report on an Egyptian military truck loaded with pita bread that had been abandoned during the fighting.<\/p>\n\n
