224 color pages / dimension: 23 x 31 cm

A photojournalistic project on contemporary Egypt, the result of more than three years spent in the country, traveling, working, meeting people and looking for the unexpected. Three main oppositions are the focus of this book: Noise and Silence, Movement and Spirit, Past and Future. 150 color pictures and 20 interviews (to Amr Moussa, Omar Sharif, Naguib Mahfouz, Zahi Hawass, Samih Sawiris, Emma Bonino, …) show the real Egypt, an insight beyond the pyramids, temples and tombs.
