Desert – The colour of Egypt – Die Farbe Ägyptens – La Couleur d’Egypte –

“… In three solitary months he travelled over 10,000 kilometres by jeep, on foot and by camel. His route led through the Libyan desert, to the old oases of Bahariya, Farafra, Dakhla and El Kharga, along the southern banks of the Nile to Aswan, and finally to the rugged mountains of the Sinai.
Christoph Heidelauf’s book about unknown Egypte, with impressive pictures and a commentary of delightful lyrical lightness, not only records an unusual journey but also presents landscape photographs of unique evocative power. We are drawn far into these distances, encouraged to let our gaze wander and to be silent and meditative. In these photographs, the entire creative might of Nature is visible, and we celarly sense the very special rhythms of silence in the desert land. …”
