"Her + Him Van Leo": The portrait of a naked grandmother posing proudly for a photographer inspired Zaatari to seek out the Armenian-Egyptian photographer Van Leo. The video is not merely a portrait of Van Leo, who was born in Turkey in 1921 as Levon Boyadjian, it also comments on the development of artistic work in Cairo and the social transformations that have occurred in Egypt in the last 50 years.
