Qumrah is an educational and social photographic project. Photographers and teenagers from East Jerusalem accompany each other on a journey of documentation through the city. Using an analog camera, the urban environment is captured through a lens in black and white, bustling with residents and tourists, food, transportation, buildings, and everyday situations that a complex city like Jerusalem has to offer. The analog photography offers a new-old portrait of the city, while it requires deep observation of the surroundings. Developing the images is a lengthy process. In a dark room emitting red light, the project combines a traditional process that obeys strict chemical laws with an experimental development process that examines the boundaries of the medium and the city.
