5 SUNRISES, 7 SUNSETS is a two-channel moving image work with a unique custom-made soundscape realized in Egypt’s Sinai, Luxor, and Aswan.

‍

This project pays homage to light as an invisible medium that reveals the knowable world, emphasizing human vision as a natural phenomenon. It delves into the concept of reflection and the ‘subversive value’ of ‘immediate reality’ that we can access through our eyes or the camera, a tool designed to emulate human sight.

‍

This film is a culmination of research and artistic exploration over the past decade, examining how the presence of light shapes human perception of the surrounding world and how vision, a natural phenomenon, is transformed into visuality as a construct.
