Another Night on Earth
Cairo traffic can justifiably be called an experimental chaos. Streetlights seem to be regarded on principle as mere lighting consoles, erected to adorn the city but otherwise negligible. Taxis, however, are looked upon as halfway trustworthy ferries navigating this erratic stream of road users, all the more so when the whole city has been set in motion even more than usual. Produced between March and September 2011 during the blossoming of the Arab Revolution and recorded with the smallest available equipment, permanently installed in several taxis, “Otra noche en la tierra” is an exciting picture of Egyptian society during those months. Dozens of passengers share their concerns (frequently) or euphoria (sometimes), their expectations and fears in view of an uncertain future with us.

Outro
One night at a burger drive-in me and my colleague saw a drunk person staggering across a vast and empty bus terminal lot. It reminded me of the opening sequence of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. I got an idea about secretly documenting people walking home drunk in the night looking like the undead. I enjoy walking home drunk. It’s an adventure, a meditation or a form of self- expression, depending on the mood one is in.
