In 1890, Sweden’s then-Queen Victoria of Baden embarked on a Thomas Cook journey along the Nile in Egypt. She returned with over 3,000 photographs and established herself as one of Sweden’s first amateur photographers at the beginning of mass tourism, just before the age of cinema. Named after her travelogue of the same name, VOM NIL follows her route through Egypt over a century later, where the same landscapes are filmed beyond the enduring postcard frame – as a new fiction inspired by the tradition of the travel narrative.
