Egypt Pavilion

The artist for this year’s Egyptian pavilion at the Venice Biennale is Moataz Nasr. In his exhibition he will explore the theme {{I:This too shall pass. }}
In his work, The Mountain, he explores the facts and the fears of contemporary village-life in Egypt. The Egyptian Pavilion, for the occasion has been transformed. The visitors can expect to be completely absorbed in a complex light play, and to be embraced by a multisensory installation and the large scale film projection telling the story of this imagined village.
