Fantasies on a Found Phone, Dedicated to the Man Who Lost It by Mahmoud Khaled draws together images from an unlocked phone found in a public toilet. The images veer between intimate, even erotic shots to those portraying the mundane and the everyday.

Sometimes, images are presented against snapshots of text, and when put in some sort of order, however arbitrary, the “compulsive sequence” that results is said to reference “the dissonant and voyeuristic experience of scrolling through social media and swiping in dating apps, and the clash of hyper-capitalist forces of productivity and technology with the intimacy of a queer male gaze”.
