Domestic Tourism I: Park
Maha Maamoun Egyptian
Not on view
Park (edition 2/6) features young couples huddled on benches installed beside a small patch of greenery. Situated in front of the looming state headquarters for public administration at one end of Tahrir Square, this "park" is located at the symbolic heart of the capital and the site, six years later, of Egypt’s 2011 revolution. The street lights punctuating the rows of benches burn with an abnormal intensity in the daytime scene. Likewise, the oversaturated color of well-worn grass and strangled foliage looks unnatural in this notoriously polluted urban hub.
