This commercial exhibition/art fair was staged in a derelict Belle Époque building in the heart of Downtown Cairo. The project required for the entire two-storey structure to be cleaned, painted and rewired. Every room received custom spot- and ambient-lighting and many of the large scale and heavy artworks required custom hanging brackets for the different walls that were made of brick, concrete or wood.
