Foam Amsterdam Hosts Myriam Boulos's First Museum Solo Show, 'A Collective Diary: Sexual Fantasies'
Foam in Amsterdam is hosting the inaugural solo exhibition of Myriam Boulos, a Lebanese photographer who recently received the 19th Foam Paul Huf Award. Titled "A Collective Diary: Sexual Fantasies," the exhibition showcases her deeply personal photographs, primarily created in Beirut. Boulos explores notions of sexuality, desire, and fantasy, while also addressing the effects of power and oppression. Featured series within the exhibition include "Looking for Tenderness," "What's Ours," and "Fragments of a Collective Diary in Times of War," the latter reflecting on the intersection of military violence and individual experiences. This exhibition signifies her first solo museum presentation.
