THANK YOU, TUNISIA 🇹🇳♥️
NULL OBJECT premiered at the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement 2026 in Tunis. I made this work in a state of existential crisis, thinking unthinkable thoughts, following certain ideas to their most disturbing conclusions, and spending far too much time inside the logic of systems I wish didn’t exist. I had recurrent nightmares about being a metahuman living inside an unreal engine project who was being tortured by a human from base reality who didn’t realize I was conscious. The deeper I went, the harder it became to distinguish speculation from the world we already inhabit. I became more paranoid than normal. Every question opened onto another, and every answer seemed to make things worse.
After months of spending 15 hours a day at my computer(aftrer a SSD containing 6 months of work mysteriously disappeared)working in Unreal Engine in my studio apartment, living off protein bars (just the word [protein] makes me sick) I was n Tunisia, seeing NULL OBJECT exist in a world beyond the one in sleep deprived dream /nightmare state from where I had made it. It was surreal to surrounded by artists whose work, intelligence, and imagination I admire so much. I am truly honored to share this moment of space and time with such a these beautiful + courageous humans.
It was my fate to be sick for much of my time there, which made it difficult to experience everything I had hoped to, but i still got see so much from my low fevered dream state and im grateful for every moment.
I was deeply moved by the enormous collective effort of curators, organizers, producers, technicians, volunteers, the people installing the exhibitions, cleaning and caring for the spaces, welcoming everyone. So many people working tirelessly, with so much care and dedication to bring this into being. 🫂🙏
My deepest gratitude to @centredartcontemporaingeneve, @jaoutunis, @kamel_lazaar_foundation, Andrea Bellini, Lina Lazaar, and especially @shumonbasar for nominating me to be part of BIM’26. And to @madameghorbelle , Malek, Pablo ,Omar, Kinda, Nour, and everyone who worked so hard to bring this special biennial into being
