  • A video essay, single camera recording of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The work captures the everyday flow of people in contrast to expectations shaped by highly publicized warnings of catastrophe and chaos predicted to take place in Jerusalem at the turn of the century. Ambient sounds mix with the Muezzin’s call to prayer wafting over the wall from the Al -Aqsa Mosque in the Muslim section of the Old City.
