The Seam
For two years I have been photographing the Seam of Jerusalem. This area of division between East and West Jerusalem was created as the ceasefire lines of the 1948-67 conflict between Israel and Jordan. 50 years later it remains visible, a curving thirty-kilometre slice through the city’s heart. Like the seam of a garment, the Seam of Jerusalem both connects and divides two communities. In some places the scars remain, in others they have been bandaged. My work examines the Seam’s impact on topography and people. People are ghosts in this landscape, custodians of Jerusalem’s present, past, and future. All cities have seams where communities are imperfectly integrated, areas left unexamined by those living nearby or passing through.
