I Had To Make This: Bassem Saad
Bassem Saad is a young artist whose video work is compelling and strange, in the right ways. It's theoretically on target and is full of formal considerations that lend it heft while also fizzing with queer energy and insight. In this conversation, he discusses what it was like to bounce around the world alongside riots, uprisings, and a global pandemic, and feeling like those events required him to make a new work in response.
Episode 5 of the Ultradilute Podcast podcast, hosted by bassem saad, hito steyerl, shana moultin, titled "I Had To Make This: Bassem Saad" was published on August 11, 2021 and runs 21 minutes.

Summary
Bassem Saad is a young artist whose video work is compelling and strange, in the right ways. It's theoretically on target and is full of formal considerations that lend it heft while also fizzing with queer energy and insight. In this conversation, he discusses what it was like to bounce around the world alongside riots, uprisings, and a global pandemic, and feeling like those events required him to make a new work in response.
Episode Description
Bassem Saad has a background in design and architecture, and he talks about how viewing a Shana Moultin piece at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris triggered his hunger for making video. I find his work deeply incisive in this strange moment, and it was a pleasure to speak to him on the line from Berlin. I began by asking him about how he grew up, where, and how he made the transition from architecture to art.
