Sunsets, everyday is the result of an investigation that the artist undertook of the process, both physical and cinematic, involved in creating images of domestic violence. During the lockdown, some victims courageously used social media to share photos of their faces, as a way of encouraging other women to report such crimes. The marks on their bodies were the only tangible proof of the blows and pain they had suffered, and the artist took these as a point of departure for thinking about all the things that happen out of sight.

All Voices are Mine

Basir Mahmood

All Voices are Mine is a remake of a film that was never made in the first place. A dream in broad daylight in which Basir Mahmood assembles his scenes in an elliptical sequence of calm, surreal motifs.
