Perception
Documentary · 2022
A feature documentary following eL Seed's mural project across a Cairo garbage-collector neighborhood, produced with the Barjeel Art Foundation — a month spent documenting the community behind the art as much as the art itself. The photographs reached global news and media, covered by thousands of publications worldwide, and were printed in eL Seed's collector's book, Perception.
