Companion book to Basim Madgy's eponymous video: a dreamlike tale about the ocean and its secrets. The film No Shooting Stars by Basim Magdy is built around the personal narrative of an unidentified inhabitant of the ocean space, a territory that lays dormant on the margins of our awareness and does not enter history books. This book explores the ideas emanating from this work through an interview with the artist by Heidi Ballet. Resonating with Basim Magdy's project, a text by Kate Sutton recounts the mysteries of water and the Palmyra atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Jeu de Paume, Paris, from October 18, 2016, to January 15, 2017, and at CAPC musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux, from November 17, 2016, to January 29, 2017.
