Basim Magdy

The Everyday Ritual of Solitude Hatching Monkeys

2014

Digital video, sound

Duration 13 min 23 sec

Born 1977 in Assiut, Egypt; lives in Basel, Switzerland, and Cairo, Egypt.

Many of Magdy’s works, which are based on observations of reality, are akin to surreal tales full of cryptic humour. At the centre of all his works are structures of seeing, remembering and archiving. The 2016 Deutsche Bank Artist of the Year exploits the gaps in reality, influenced by science, history, global culture and the dissemination of knowledge. His work proposes a different understanding of the structures of power and examines authoritarian practices in media, using symbolic characters like astronauts, ghosts, yetis and albino devils.
