BASIM MAGDY WOULD A FIREFLY FEAR THE FIRE THAT BURNS IN ITS HEART?

Magdys films, photographs, and drawings focus on structures of seeing, remembering, and archiving. His works often call to mind sur real narratives full of abysmal humor. The artist uses his psychedelically colored pictures and montages to scrutinize collective ut opias and express doubt about dogmas and ideologies. At the same time, he appeals to the viewers power of imagination and causes al ternative realities and designs for society to shine out.
