Unpicking Jerusalem: a re-examination of the archives takes the city’s tumultuous modern histories as its starting point, focusing on what was the city’s major commercial district – Mamilla St. Untangling the legacy of the Jerusalem’s expansion in 19th Century, through the events of the Nakba in 1948 and its radical re-envisioning this century, Unpicking Jerusalem attempts to question the hagiographic narratives that plague this pivotal space within the contested urban fabric of a fragmented city through the sculptural installation of archival and recent images. Mamilla from the West uses the mall’s contemporary entrance as window and façade to view an image of Mamilla Road c. 1900, both printed on glass. Dismembered Façade questions the effect of architectural preservation policy removing the ‘heritage’ façade from the contemporary shop fronts.
