Published by Michael Stevenson, 2007

In this first monograph on his work, Youssef Nabil photographs young men in intimate situations, asleep or on the threshold of sleep, interspersed with self-portraits, and sets up dreamlike moments that are imbued with a brooding sexuality. The book explores the interior and exterior worlds of drama, beauty, glamour, sexuality and identity.
