Why you should see this
Visiting the Giza Plateau to see the new sculptures offers a unique perspective on how contemporary art can interact with ancient history. This exhibition invites viewers to reflect on humanity’s relationship with nature and the environment, prompting conversations about sustainability and the materials we use in our daily lives.

Secrets of art
Alex Proba's sculptures are not just visually striking; they are also a feat of engineering. Each piece is anchored by a hidden steel structure, allowing them to appear as if they are floating above the sand, showcasing the innovative blend of art and architecture necessary to support their heavy stone forms.
The artist's hand
Marcus, 34, from Chicago, traveled to Giza seeking inspiration for his own artistic endeavors. Standing before Proba's sculptures, he felt a profound connection to the ancient stones. As he traced the curves with his fingers, memories of his late grandmother’s stories about the pyramids flooded back. For Marcus, the sculptures became a bridge between his past and present, igniting a desire to incorporate natural materials into his own work, honoring both his heritage and the earth.
