On the plateau overlooking the ancient Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, a major outdoor art exhibition brings together the work of 14 international contemporary artists who have created site-specific installations responding to the iconic monuments.
In one project, a new pyramid structure emerges in wicker; in another, glass sculptures appear to make the ancient pyramids float on water. “Forever Is Now III” is the third edition of an annual exhibition held at the site, and the biggest yet. Organized by Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, the founder and curator of Cairo-based arts firm Art D’Égypte, the event aims to celebrate ancient Egyptian culture through contemporary creativity.
“There are solar cells sandwiched between the glass which harness the power of the sun to charge a battery inside the artwork,” said Marcelis. “This means that the artwork can exist as a completely off-grid installation and powers its own lighting at night.” Glass also plays a key role in “Horizon” by Greek sculptor Costas Varotsos, a series of metal circles half-filled with glass and arranged in a line.
