Breadusalem

Street photography meets visual anthropology on this exploration of the city of Jerusalem through discarded bread. Beyond its ancient religious symbolism, this curious photobook presents bread as a public bonding experience inscribed on the traces left by humanity in the Holy City.

​

Pita, challah, rugelach, flatbread, seeded, bagels, baguettes, taboon, nazook, hadjin, ... Bread in all it shapes and forms had taken over the public space in the city. Sometimes half-eaten and often quirkily misplaced, it seemed like a ritual preparation laid down ready to be indulged by passersby. It was written in the Holy books; for Muslims, Jewish and Christians it was forbidden to throw it away.
