A thing I wrote about the spate of rock star deaths in 2016. Topics covered include: 1) How I knew Bowie was dying. 2) How Bowie became my first rock'n'roll hero -- and let me down almost instantly 3) Why liking David Bowie is not the same as liking Aston Villa 4) How I became a wolf 5) And some very dubious maths

Edition of 26 handmade boxes in custom Batik print 100% Egyptian Cotton - includes signed/editioned copy of A Star in the Sea & one original Polaroid from the series. A Star in the Sea is an overture for embracing the unexpected. The photographs, text & title pertain to three independent, personal life events: A love story; my first & only trip to my place of birth in the UK & a vision on a beach in Italy. It is inspired by a desire to redefine my relationship with the ideals of success & happiness. In this context, A Star in the Sea is an opportunity to celebrate imperfection — an artistic gesture to have faith in the Universe. copyright © 2019 Laura El-Tantawy, A Star in the Sea www.astarinthesea.com

In the Shadow of the Pyramids is a first person account exploring memory and identity. With images spanning 2005 to 2014, what began as a look in the mirror to understand the essence of Egyptian identity expanded into an exploration of the trials and tribulations of a turbulent nation. The result is dark, sentimental and passionate. Juxtaposing the innocence of the past with the obscurity of the present, the book is an experience, edited to look like a one night’s encounter. A peaceful and tranquil day suddenly turns violent and chaotic, it’s claustrophobic, until a new dawn rises and there is hope again. *Nominee Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2016* *Time Magazine's Best Photobooks 2015* *Photo Eye Best Photobooks 2015* *Best PhotoBook 2015 selection by Yumi Goto, Robin Titchener, Jason Eskenazi, Alejandro Cartagena, John Gossage, Colin Pantall, Tim Clark, Ramon Reverte, Martin Amis, Atsushi Saito, Lens Culture* *Winner 2015 Best Photo Book Public Vote, Fotobookfestival Kassel* *Voted 2015 Best Photobook by Gerry Badger & Rudi Thoemmes, Fotobookfestival* *Finalist PHotoEspaña 2015 Best Photography Book of the Year* *Finalist Athens Photo Festival Best Photo Book 2015* *Finalist Encontros da Imagem Best Self Published Photobook 2015* *Finalist 2014 Unseen Dummy Award* Photography & Text: Laura El-Tantawy Design: -SYB- Self published edition of 500 | Signed and numbered Dimensions: 22.7 x 17.6 x 3.9 cm Hard Cover on Peydur | Hand bound Inside paper 120 grams Core Uncoated | Pages: 440 pages with Japanese folds including 7 smaller text pages & 18 pages as single sheets Released January 25, 2015 ISBN: 978-90-821066-1-9 SOLD OUT copyright © LAURA EL-TANTAWY 2005-2019 | www.lauraeltantawy.com

Laura El-Tantawy

“Enclosed between four walls, the sound of silence never seemed louder. It’s claustrophobic. I wait for the phone to ring, check for emails obsessively, eat everything out of the fridge. The hunger remains. I feel like if I dig my hand deep into my soul, I will find nothing. The awareness I am experiencing is unspeakable. Faces change when we meet. Is their solitude reflected in mine? There is an awkward silence.” Laura El-Tantawy. Beyond Here Is Nothing is a photo-book object meditating on home. A place of belonging, a tranquil state of mind; a nostalgic memory or an imaginary destination – home is a perpetual possibility El-Tantawy is journeying to reach. Her personal experience growing up in contrasting cultures is the window to an intimate and emotive visual exploration of the unsettling feeling of rootlessness, the mental burden of loneliness and the constant search for belonging in unfamiliar places. Drifting between the physical and the whimsical, the book reveals itself through layers of images and words. A mirror of dispositions. A living object harmonizing with time.
