After working for many years in Jerusalem with photos, one day I realized that all the people who came to Jerusalem and it doesn’t matter what language and what country, they come to pray, but they say the same prayer in different languages, it doesn’t matter who the language is. Looking at the prayers that people say in Jerusalem, I have taken about 25 different prayers and mixed them from different religions, even from Christianity and from Islam, but the people at the end of the day their prayers and requests are all: ‘ I want love, I want health, I want long life’. After mixing all the photos we created a movie that will be presented here. I am very pleased with what it has turned out and I say that it is one of the most beautiful exhibitions of this tour that I am doing.” – said Dmitry Brickman.
