FOURNORTHAFRICANTRIPS - EGYPT I 343463

This is the first of a series of 4 photographic reportages shot in North Africa during fifteen years.
In this first volume, 182 color images to tell - by land and sea - a Country that perhaps no longer exists.
Almost 5,000 km traveled by car, starting from Cairo, down towards the South, in Upper Egypt, up to 45 km from the border with Sudan, along the banks of the Nile and passing through the Libyan Desert (Egyptian Western Sahara) and the Egyptian Eastern Sahara, to the coasts bordering the Red Sea and beyond, and then up to the Suez Canal, and back to Cairo again.
The light, the colours, the landscapes and the people of Egypt, photographed in 1986.
A seductive initiatory journey through human and land geography, in a truly different and fascinating Country, in a mysterious Land, guardian of a millenary culture.

The volume contains 145 pages of very accurate notes performing a descriptive and explanatory function to be considered an integral part of the published reportage, and that address all the topics covered in this first journey, through the historical, anthropological, geographical, biological, religious, archaeological, cultural aspects, including the habits of the portrayed people.
