Asma Bahmim’s work demonstrates her layered understanding of the feminine through her curated display of artworks specifically commissioned for Art Basel, Paris.

Bahmim recycles, cuts and reassembles familial materials like her children’s used notebooks and old cotton T-shirts. The artist brings the maternal out in full display. Her recurring characters take center-stage; pigeons, lilies and humanoid figures orchestrating her interpretations on relationships. Drawing inspiration from Antoin Artaud's, Theatre of Cruelty, Bahmim uses fantastical characters to disrupt the viewer's reality.

Notes in Time, is Bahmim’s perspective on relationships in nature. Her romantic lens on pigeons highlight how they are monogamous creatures that deeply rely on one another. The artist expresses: “Pigeon's love, caress, flirt, and kiss, due to their distinctive love… who remain partners till the end of time; they are unable to overcome separation!”. The piece includes visible layers of handmade paper, representing how the pigeons remain with one another throughout their lifetime.
