The Israeli Pavilion, Venice Biennale of Architecture 1996 related to the centrality of the city of Jerusalem to the three religions. The main wall in the stairwell was a light installation. The wall was 6 meters high and about 10 meters long, covered with 3 layers of mesh printed with images of the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, and the surrounding churches. On the print was light -projected the symbols of the three religions.
The crowd moved along the wall merged the three symbols into one combined image.
