“Just a background performer in
my own diaries”
This project is the second part
of my personal project “Presence” which contains a series of self-portraits
that record the relation between my own presence and the surrounding
environment.
It's a series of my random
photographic diaries in the streets of Cairo downtown, combined with
self-portraits taken at the same perspective of each photo (with the help of my
lovely wife). You can hardly find me in the dimmed shadows or reflections,
walking randomly in the corner of a street or watching from a far window in a
background building.
The photos reflect the real
presence I feel about myself within the streets. I am no more than a background
actor in a movie scene, with no real effect on the main action except for
completing the reality of the whole picture.
The source photos are from my photo diaries, you can check samples of them in my "Cell Phone Diaries" blog.
