Member Previews—Now Showing: Youssef Nabil’s I Saved My Belly Dancer | LACMA
Designed to evoke the type of mid-century cinema where the films that inspired Youssef Nabil’s art were shown, this exhibition showcases the artist’s 2015 video I Saved My Belly Dancer, a recent LACMA acquisition. It also features 11 related photographs that parallel the filmic storyline, along with contemporaneous Egyptian film posters. Like much of Nabil’s work, the subject matter is subtly autobiographical and reflects his longing for the past, one that he lived vicariously through the old movies he watched obsessively on television while growing up in Cairo.
