The French photographer has spent decades trying to become an insider in Egypt, a challenge expressed in this wedding picture
took this picture at a wedding in Cairo in 1998. By then, he had been visiting Egypt, obsessively, for six years. His obsession began with a love affair. While working at a florist in Paris, Dailleux met a young Egyptian man, Sherif, and ended up following him back to his home country. Dailleux was intoxicated both by his romance with Sherif and the place and people he encountered.
Though his relationship with Sherif ended, Dailleux continued to live in Cairo, making different series of pictures over a period of 30 years: of veiled mothers and their bodybuilder sons; of the families of those young people who died as martyrs in the Arab spring uprising of 2011; of the evidence of political and environmental decline in the country in the last decade.
