Description: Magnum photographer Bieke Depoorter has traveled to Egypt regularly since the beginning of the revolution in 2011, making intimate pictures of Egyptian families in their homes. In 2007, she revisited the country with the first draft of this book, inviting others to write comments directly onto the photographs. Contrasting views on country, religion, socioety, and photography arise between people who would otherwise never cross paths. As it may be depicts a population in transition with integrity, commitment, and respect.
