Bieke Depoorter Egypt. Fayoum. Tunis. 2013.
(Translation of the written text below)
- Where are the human rights in Egypt? I invite the whole world to come and see the poverty in Egypt.
- This opinion shows
(...) Egypt in a bad way. You'd better not put it in the book because the state security people who are responsible for Egypt, might become suspicious of you.
- You cannot photograph a woman while she is sleeping because a man might see it.
- Our country, Egypt, is the country of safety and security, and all is well here. Long Live Egypt!
- I agree.
- Egypt has potential, it is rich, but the government is not fair to all the people.
- This opinion gets you involved in politics; it's better if you ignore it, you're better off not publishing it.
- Egypt is not poor.
- Sleeping and eating are private things. You should not be exposing them, they should be hidden.
- I'm not really bothered by the idea.
- Wrinkles in the face.
- How can you know this if she's wearing the niqab?
- Not true. This is true:
1. Sunna from the prophet, may God bless him.
2. Chastity of the Muslim woman.
- Plastic bag from Al Orman.
- Not true, because the bag has "Mecca Clothing Store" written on it. © Bieke Depoorter | Magnum Photos
