In 556 BC, a group of Jewish clerics fled the fall of Jerusalem, and established a synagogue on the Island of Jerba. I made this image of a memorial placque in the synagogue’s sanctuary at one-sixth of second. The resulting blur makes the tablet seem to weep – not just for the dead, but for the persecution that Jerba’s Jewish community faced here over the centuries. There are still 1,000 Jews living on Jerba Island. Muslims, Christians and Jews generally respect each other’s beliefs in Tunisia.
