Changing Landscape
Project realized with the support of Movin' Up (MiBACT + GAI) and European Cultural Foundation.
Changing Landscape is a photographic investigation of landscape transformations along the Red Sea coast in Egypt. Reflecting on the concept of development of contemporary cities Changing Landscape investigates ways and forms in which the natrual and built environment interact with each other in a country where architecture has always been an ideological medium, a kind of sacred geometry whose forms refer to the relationship with the afterlife, whose elements communicate with solar systems and create a correspondence with the stars and planets, bringing man closer to a higher and divine nature.
Changing Landscape moves its first steps in the field of cultural landscapes, seeking connections between man-made space and the space where roots, myth, and archetype reside, creating a dimension where one is to nourish the other. Using the boundary line of the Red Sea as a metaphor for constant change, I traveled from Suez to the Sudanese border documenting the on-going transformations and looking for moments of grace in the race of the contemporary world.
