"The Race" by artist Khaled Zaki at the "Forever is Now 4" exhibition at the Pyramids of Giza.

In The Race, Khaled Zaki resurrects an ancient scene by casting the viewer into the path of unruly horses racing among wheels that recall those of ancient Egyptian chariots. Between movement and stasis, advance and retreat, the viewer sees two horses traversing the ground among six thrusting wheels in the shifting sands of an excavation site.
