A photographic exhibition, Egypt Unveiled, is taking place at the Johnson Art Collection in Los Angeles (U.S.):
Photographer and actress Jacqueline Ann Finch, relative of the prolific jazz composer and vibraphonist Victor Feldman, shares her journey to Egypt in her exhibition of photographic images inspired by the mysterious and beguiling secrets that only Egypt can reveal. In an unique and arresting juxtaposition of ancient and modern Egypt co-existing side by side, first time exhibitor Jacqueline Finch takes us on a unique journey of personnel images furnished by the mysterious and ancient Egyptian landscape and its people.Amongst the images are moments on the lush, expansive, ever shifting Nile, sleeping dogs, napping in a pool of shade, watched over by the powerful statues of the Karnack Temple. A striking, beautiful pre-adolescent beggar girl, the weight of the world in her old soul, sits on the steps outside the Luxor temple. The great defending Sphinx of the Giza Pyramids peers out at us from its protective position behind the chiseled ancient rocks. For everyone who has some sleeping or waking connection to Egypt, this exhibition will whisper its secrets to you.

The Johnson Art Collection in Los Angeles, where the exhibition takes place, has a website. It has a fascinating user interface which is very reminiscent of old computer games and DVD episode selection menus. There is something rather surrealistic about it.
