CAMARADERIE is a tapestry pulled together from YouTube footage featuring Egyptian bodybuilders.

CAMARADERIE is pulled together from YouTube footage showing Egyptian professional bodybuilders in different situations. By using techniques such as appropriation and cropping, the work attempts to understand the representative nature of the masculine body, in its many variations: from the official to the popular, ethical, personal and the erotic.
