Cairo

Switzerland and Egypt | 2006 | 12' 00'' | color | stereo

Christoph Oertli’s video shows a person walking very slowly through the bustling city, quiet sub- urbs and peaceful rooftops of Cairo. As the districts change, so does the walker who continues his measured pace while observing the world around him without interaction. The environmental sound changes from noisy traffic to silence.
