Cairo, 1998
Between Denis Dailleux and Cairo, it is a true love story : on one side, an insatiable fascination for this unique place, its mood, its magical lights and an unspeakable tenderess towards its inhabitants ; on the other, a natural generosity, a city which offers itself to this subjugated look, inhabitants full of spontaneous kindness.
Denis Dailleux makes regular trips to Cairo, in an obsessive way. From this inexhaustible quest, he brings back images, also inexhaustible.
Inside a carefully selected area, he takes his marks, settles his scenery, the light, its heat, its softness, with its changing reflections on the walls, the colors.
