“Cairo: A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect”
The 15-photo series “Cairo: A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect” by Jonathan Jasberg offers an intriguing preview of an extensive multi-year project containing over 130 carefully chosen photographs, many of which remain unreleased. This captivating collection kicks off with a stunning postcard-like image of the iconic pyramids and progressively delves into deeper themes and intricate complexities.
Inspired by an ancient Egyptian proverb, “A Beautiful Thing Is Never Perfect,” the series pays homage to Cairo’s hidden intricacies and the photographer’s personal experience and connection with the city. Through these powerful images, viewers can observe a striking contrast between the aesthetic and historical aspects of Cairo and the contemporary tensions and instabilities that shape and impact human existence.

The Rythm of Life Imperfection

As the artist defines the city as “far from perfect,” these photographs not only provide a window into the intricate layers of Cairo’s social fabric but also showcase relatable moments that invite viewers to connect with, empathize, and cherish the inherent beauty of diversity.
