Photographer David Degner has been working on a long-term photo project on the role of modern miracles in Egyptian society. “While traveling throughout Egypt, Degner often heard about miracles and that they come in many forms: miracles that are written about in newspapers, for example, or miracles that are only discussed confidentially. His pursuit of these stories lead him to nearly every part of the country: from cities to villages, from mountains to valleys, from deserts to seas. He diligently tracked even the faintest whisper of a miracle story to its source and sought to understand people’s individual experiences and the apparent purpose of these miracles.”

The result was Degner’s“Modern Miracles” project which will be features in a solo exhibition that opens on Thursday in the City of the Dead, at the Maq’ad of Sultan Qaytbay.
