Dreaming of Jerusalem - cross media

 
Dreaming of Jerusalem was conceived and produced as a cross media work by the Scottish composer Malcolm Lindsay. Malcolm responded to Stuart Duffin's exhibition of the same title in 1997 following his initial visit in to Jerusalem 1996. In 1998 when Stuart was returning to Jerusalem, Malcolm asked him to capture both the sounds of the city on audio tape and the visuals on stills film. As Malcolm commenced writing the piece for string quartet inspired by what Stuart brought back, photographer Melanie Sims began choreographing the audio visual elements for live performance. The work was premiered at Cottier's Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland in 1998 as part of Malcolm Lindsay's Hardest Lines, a cross media performance for string quartet, photography, digital image, video and poetry.
