The Eternal Light of
Egypt
The Photography of Sarite Sanders
January 16–June 13, 2010
Contemporary photographer Sarite Sanders has produced a stunning
collection of photographs that capture the mysterious radiance and
residual spirituality of Egypt’s ancient ruins. These dramatic
black-and-white photographs, complemented by quotations from a range of
sources, recall the iconic early 19th-century travel photography that
captured for Westerners the awe and majesty of Pharaonic Egypt.
Photographed using infrared film, the images are often dark and edgy,
and reveal the ancient monuments in sharp relief, forcing us to see, as
though for the first time, Egypt’s timeless pyramids, imposing statues,
and breathtaking architecture. This exhibition will include 40
photographs and is accompanied by a fully illustrated book.
