Abdelrahman Hussein (b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Alexandria, Egypt. He is interested in working with still and moving image on the multi-faced relation between a human and space and discovering ways to harness the image to investigate the surrounding structures in the modern everyday life. His practice aims to discover ways to be political without politicizing, and how institutions influence dividuals in societies of control within his experienced world.
Currently, He holds a BFA in painting from The Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University, participated in Mass Alexandria's Independent Studio & Study Programme 2018-19, and Behna Visual Arts Program 2022 in addition to a number of workshops and exhibitions.
