    Our memories work in a funny way that we mostly remember the things that stand out, the odd things… Have you ever met someone who spoke to animals in the most natural way as if animals understood every word they said? I have. This boy in this 15 year old film scan was the camel…

    The more we find out about history the less we actually know… The Great Sphinx in the Giza plateau, original purpose unknown, original name unknown, actual construction date unknown, and despite all that, one of the largest and oldest statues in the world stands proudly looking at us, impressing us and challenging us to find…

    The most baffling thing about ancient history is the search for the real reasons as to why the ancients did what they did… After being amazed, impressed and dazzled by a 7km avenue in Luxor lined perfectly with sphinxes, I had to ask myself the question: “why would they do that?” It seems far too…

    Have you ever wondered why entities that aim to exercise power over us are always large, imposing, overwhelming? Government buildings, houses of religion, temples, Egypt… The first thing that I registered when looking at Egyptian art is how large everything is, how oppressively daunting it is.
