<< nature. The variety of the styles
within one space carries a multitude of oft-conflicting meanings that
are partially deprived of their significance as indicators of tastes
and preferences, financial considerations and practicalities being

In a furnished flat in Cairo brings together 7 artists (4
Egyptians and 3 Swiss) to share a furnished flat for one month. The
transient nature of the artists' interventions in the space serves
to question the preconceived ideas of the "home" as a provider
of security and a definer of identity. The space becomes a platform
for the deconstruction of familial structures, domestic behaviors
and the mechanisms through which one's surroundings work to reinforce
identity and social status.

In a furnished flat in Cairo is sponsored by the Arts Council
of Switzerland–Pro Helvetia curated by Hala Elkoussy. Site design
