What is the image of Jerusalem that dwells in your mind ?

 

 

Is there a particular image that takes shape in your mind when you remember Jerusalem? Try to describe this image in words, while being as specific as possible. Describe the visual details that are connected to this image—there are no limitations in length or form, express yourself freely, however please try to stay away from slogans. The more focused you are in the description of the image, the easier it will become to recreate it photographically.  It is the personal experience or information that you decide to share that will make this project a success.

 

Please do not hesitate to include any written texts or personal testimonies that might help complete your elaboration and description of your relationship with Jerusalem, or the issues of Exile, Palestine, Belonging, Home or any other related subject.

 

A collection of the above texts will appear on this web site, and approximately 100 contributions together with the artistically ‘materialized’ images, will form the book “jerusalem in exile – tangible memories”.

 

 

You can write in the language of your choice.

In a way, once we will be looking at the created images, we will be actually looking at Jerusalem through the eyes of these people. We will be offered the chance to discover hidden thoughts, memories, and also intimate details that these contributors have preserved in their mind of Jerusalem."
