[Palestine] Jerusalem(s), Borderline Syndrome
For centuries, the city of Jerusalem has been the site of sanctification, religious and ideological projections. It is like a repository of irrational attachments, fetishizing and over-zealous religious observance. Since 1948 it became an icon of the Arab-Israeli war. In this cinematic essay that straddles fiction and documentary, Sivan references the different psychoses that the symbolic over-valuation of the city has inspired, namely he ‘Jerusalem Syndrome’, diagnosed in the 19th century, that afflicted pilgrims and tourists to the Holy City, and a similar psycho-pathology known as the ‘Jerusalem Fever’, diagnosed in the 20th century. Sivan’s camera travels the everyday life of the city, and follows, in parallel, a young boy who wanders the streets at night and discovers a prostitute with golden breasts. He, like the camera, fall victim to a violently effeminized Jerusalem.
