Analogous Jerusalem brings together photographs of the city of Jerusalem by Gili Merin with an architectural text by Pier Vittorio Aureli. The photographs trace a topography of the city as a layered and contested landscape: ancient stones and contemporary concrete, sacred enclosures and militarized borders, dense neighbourhoods and vast voids. Aureli's essay develops a meditation on the city as architecture's highest challenge – a place where every spatial decision is political, every threshold a negotiation between conflicting memories and aspirations. Together, the photographs and text construct an image of Jerusalem as an analogous city: a place simultaneously actual and imaginary, specific and universal.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
