For Malak Helmy’s exhibition Nile Sunset Annex will be extending onto its roof to accommodate a gleaming salt structure, fleeting expanded polystyrene, and a shiny rock shape. In the space itself, there will be earlier works that have never been shown in Egypt before, "Chapter 3 - Lost Referents of Some Attraction" (2012) and "Score for the Occasional City" (2010). Selected from an ongoing series, "Records from the Excited State," the first is a video work and the second involves five Kodak Ektagraphic AF-2 slide projectors. The works have connections with a specific landscape, and they are variously meditative, magical, and deteriorating.
