Mahmoud Khaled
Fantasies on a Found Phone, Dedicated to the Man Who Lost It
London, UK: Bookworks, 2022
144 pp., 10.6 x 17.8 cm., softcover
Edition of 1000
Recalling the work of Hans-Peter Feldmann and Sophie Calle, the images and texts in this artist book/catalogue come from an unlocked phone found in a public toilet. The publication accompanies Mahmoud Khaled‘s first UK solo exhibition of the same name, at The Mosaic Rooms.
"Moving between the erotic, intimate, baroque and everyday, the compulsive sequence of images references the dissonant and voyeuristic experience of scrolling through social media and swiping in dating apps, and the clash of hyper-capitalist forces of productivity and technology with the intimacy of a queer male gaze.”
