Between architectural photography and sociological reporting, Marie SCHUITEN's work reveals the spirit of vernacular architecture. She does not seek to reproduce the obvious but rather to convey the very essence of this architecture that has touched many architects around the world. The photographer slowly casts her gaze on this earthen architecture born in the middle of the Egyptian desert. She invites us to share her passion for these abandoned villages, to look at these soft, undulating forms marked by millennia of tradition, to sit down and savor for a long moment the torpor that envelops them. Bilingual edition French / English.
