The Sound of Jerusalem V

“ 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. The way I see it, the frequencies and the vibrations transmit endless waves that we all can relate to and feel. 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.” Steve Sabella
