The Camera Man at 24.07.2016

     
Until 10.12.2016

The exhibition “The Camera Man – Women and Men Photograph Jerusalem 1900-1950 takes an original look at this complex and fascinating city. The exhibition highlights the unique and complex human and cultural heritage of the city and for the first time offers a complete look at the photographic work in Jerusalem of Christians, Jews and Muslims between the years 1900- 1950.

 

The 34 photographers chosen to be exhibited in “The Camera Man” lived and worked in Jerusalem during the first half of the twentieth century. The photographers come from all different backgrounds – European, Armenian and local, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, men and women. These photographs show the unique way that each photographer documented the many faces of Jerusalem. Many photographers recorded the Jerusalem residents of different communities; some were hired by institutions and organizations to photograph various historical events that occurred in the city and some were artists who sought to honor the unique faces of Jerusalem.
