For the Sound of Jerusalem, I photographed Jerusalem’s skylines from 360 degrees and then flattened them into one horizontal plane. What emerges is a sound-wave like visual, as if musical notations. Later, I will commission a sound artist to interpret the ‘audio waves’ into a musical track, creating the sound of Jerusalem.
When I create enough notations, and these are already over 20 meters long, I will create a new project, The Sound of Jerusalem – A Symphony for Palestine. In the exhibition hall, the works can be hung in any constellation, in any direction, giving freedom to re-compose every time the waves are spread on a wall. Like this, the art is always recreated, changing. And while people look and listen to the emerging pulses, they can only imagine and compose their own story. Their own symphony.
