{"product_id":"1003656044078","title":"Cairo Portraits","description":"Cairo Portraits: In 2003, photographers Stefan Ruiz and Artin Sarafian independently turned their cameras toward Cairo. Working separately, they were drawn to the city’s people, performers, workers, families, dreamers, and passersby.\n\nTheir paths converged at Studio Atro D’Art, Sarafian’s photography studio in downtown Cairo, where the traditions of studio portraiture became a meeting point.\n\nCairo Portraits brings these two bodies of work together for the first time, moving between the public and intimate, the spontaneous and carefully staged. Together, the photographs offer a portrait of Cairo shaped by its people and by the visual cultures of portraiture and self-representation.\n\nMore than two decades later, the photographs take on new meaning. As historic studios disappear under urban change and digital image-making, these photographs offer a record of a city, its people, and a particular moment in the art of photography.\n\nDesigned around an 114-page folding structure, the book allows both bodies of work to be viewed simultaneously, creating a physical record of the brief intersection between two photographers and their perspectives on portraiture.","brand":"MIDDLE EAST ARCHIVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68038146392373,"sku":"1003656044078","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/2b428c5a-c12f-4766-a5c6-77152a606434.png?v=1793802863","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/products\/1003656044078","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
