A Midsummer Night’s Dream: expansive fields of rooftops stretch from western to eastern Jerusalem under the gaze of the moon. Changing their appearance from day to night, summoning encounters, connections, and visits – another stream of income and use of resources. Shamia-Opher created a folding kit for sleeping on rooftops – a platform that allows tourists to visit Jerusalem Above, which attaches to the city’s rooftop, linking together washing lines, playfulness, and mischief.
