On the rooftop of the Umm el-Fahm Gallery, with a view of the city as a backdrop, Jones performs a ceremony using a mixture of dried plants gathered from the surrounding area and tree sap incense burned on coal. This act serves as an environmental ablution and ritual purification for both the spectators and the city. It is an attempt to connect the macro-history of the city with the that of the gallery space. The performance is in dialogue with Jones’ exhibition “Leket Liqat,” part of the exhibition cluster “Always of Dawn,” presented at the gallery.
