Documentary Photography | 2014
Consumership casts a critical eye on the urban development of Cairo and takes as its subject the nexus between consumer society and urban space. With the aid of photography, I investigate the paradoxical relationship between the desolate, natural city landscapes and the growing urban sprawl of the metropolis. I wanted to find subjects that symbolically connect with each other. Photographs as such have little explanatory power, it is their arrangement and juxtaposition that are far more suggestive.
