Natacha Fume le Narguilé, Natacha Atlas, Cairo is a striking hand-colored gelatin silver print by Egyptian artist Youssef Nabil. In this glamorous and captivating photo, the artist depicts Natacha with a hookah. This image typifies Nabil’s love of and penchant for the dazzling and glamorous cinematographic heritage of his homeland–Egypt. Growing up in cinematic Cairo, he was intoxicated with the golden age of its stars. His works draw inspiration from his childhood memories of black and white films filled with elegance and melodrama. In an attempt to idolize and immortalize the stars of Egypt, Nabil creates an imaginary reality that reflects the richness of Middle Eastern culture as well as the fantasies and flamboyance of Egyptian cinema.
