Basim Magdy

Ruins, astronauts and rockets, airplanes, soldiers, cranes and modernist structures; Basim Magdy (1977, Egypt) subjects us to a satirical view of the world. His paintings, analog films and installations reveal a dreamlike universe that has gone out of balance. From a fascination for the subconscious and the absurd, Magdy plays with fragments, suggestions and atmosphere. References abound: from slick commercials to science fiction and comics, from dry nature documentaries to the apocalyptic tone of Bible stories. Poetically, past, present and future come together beyond the confines of time as we know it, somewhere between reality and fiction
