"The Passions of the Trash Drive: A Group Exhibition"
An exhibition by Malak Helmy
November - December 2013
Nile Sunset Annex, Cairo
For Malak Helmy’s recent exhibition, Nile Sunset Annex was extended onto its roof to accommodate a gleaming salt structure and amorphous blue sculptures made specifically for the site. The exhibition presents a selection of works from Helmy's ongoing series “Records from the Excited State,” which is inspired by Egypt's North Coast region.
In this video, Helmy explains her interest in the North Coast region, as well as her collaboration with the Nile Sunset Annex team to produce the site-specific sculptures and an interactive online publication.
