Background
"Photograph in stone" is a project of Deborah Avi Dan from the "Heart of Jerusalem" community administration that started in the "Ohel Moshe" neighborhood in Jerusalem in about 2005
and in it, photos of the founders of the neighborhood were taken, burned in stone, and hung on the walls of the houses where those founders lived.
The project expanded to other neighborhoods and places: HaHavatselet Street
, Mahane Yehuda Market
, Ohel Moshe neighborhood
, Ibn Yisrael neighborhood
, Bezalel Street
, Ben Shatach Street
The project also documents major events in Jerusalem: the four-day march
, the divided city
About the signs
The signs made of stone are mostly found on the walls of the houses, accompanied by a picture and text in Hebrew and English about the person or the event. Each of the signs also bears the logo of the project
