Son of a King, Portraits of Egypt, 2008
“Son of a king… Son of Pharaoh, son of a history that has stood still, in balance for three or four thousand years, and which, for a century or two, has been shaking backwards towards a chaos of which no one can guess the extent.
Denis Dailleux is the worthy photographer of Egypt that is worthy of being loved. Fragile and threatened, perhaps already dying, it receives from his art a setting of rare delicacy, and above all of great intensity. Everything is there. Everything that suddenly stirs up emotions, finding beautiful the landscapes, the streets, the passers-by we come across. Everything that still makes you love Egypt.”
