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.

Basir Mahmood
Born in Pakistan and today based between Lahore and Amsterdam, Basir Mahmood (b. 1985) is known for using media such as video, film and photograph to create poetic sequences that contemplate embedded social and historical terrains of the ordinary as well as his personal milieu. The narratives of his work are often based within and around everyday objects, gestures, situations and events. They explore the spaces that stretch between identity, distance, memory, fantastical imagination of others, and a melancholy that derives from social injustice and inequity as well as from social structure and hierarchy.
