EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Amr Abdallah Dalsh, we are transported into the bustling world of the 49th Cairo International Book Fair in Egypt. The image showcases a close-up view from above, where a visitor can be seen browsing through an array of books at a secondhand partition. What makes this scene truly unique is the creative use of old newspapers and magazines as part of the shop's interior design. The detailed shot focuses on the visitor's hand delicately flipping through pages, revealing their passion for literature and thirst for knowledge. Surrounding them are piles of paper, forming an intriguing formation that adds depth to the composition. Although unrecognizable, these real people contribute to the vibrant atmosphere within the fair. The photograph expertly plays with depth of field and out-of-focus elements, drawing our attention solely to the search for hidden treasures among countless book covers. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that even in today's digital age, there remains an undeniable charm associated with physical copies and their ability to transport us into different worlds. Amr Dalsh skillfully captures both nostalgia and curiosity within his lens; inviting viewers to appreciate not only books but also how they bring people together in shared spaces like this secondhand shop at Cairo International Book Fair.
