Peacock and Greek Folk Music – Jerusalem Festival of Light 2017
Posted by Avital Pinnick on July 4, 2017
It’s that time of year again! I love photographing the annual Festival of Light in the Old City. This is the festival’s ninth year. I think I’ve missed only one.
The Peacock (Tim Scofield Studios, USA), was one of my favourite installations. It’s located on Chabad Street, close to Zion Gate. Comprising more than 14,400 individually addressable LED lights, it measure more than 12 m. wide and 6.5 m. high.
I think I was playing with longer exposures when I took this photo.
Here’s a video of the Peacock:
Two Israeli musicians playing Greek instruments. The bowed instrument is a lyra creta and the other is an outi.
In this video I shot, the guy on the right has bells attached to his bow. It’s very cool how he’s able to shake his hand to make them ring in time to the music.
This and That
