Aglaia Konrad: Desert Cities - Paperback

by Aglaia Konrad (Artist), Brigitte Franzen (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Christoph Keller (Editor)

Neither an architectural nor a documentary photographer, Aglaia Konrad focuses a direct gaze on cities like Cairo, Alexandria and Anwar el Sadat, capturing applications of "Modernist" principles in desert architecture. Her photographs spotlight an improbable dialogue between imported models and vernacular elements, constructions and sites, desert and communities, modernity and tradition.
