A Collective Diary: Sexual Fantasies is the first museum solo exhibition of Lebanese photographer Myriam Boulos, recipient of the 19th Foam Paul Huf Award. Bringing together an intimate and deeply personal body of work, largely made in her hometown of Beirut. Boulos turns her camera towards the spaces, bodies and intimate encounters that exist beyond the immediately visible. Her photographs explore sexuality, desire and fantasy, while reflecting on the ways bodies and land are shaped by systems of power and oppression.

The exhibition unfolds as a collective diary composed of photographs, intimate observations, personal notes and the voices of people the artist encounters, where Boulos gives particular attention to the series Sexual Fantasies. It offers a glimpse into Boulos’ inner world and the intimate lives of those around her. Throughout Boulos’ work, intimacy becomes a space of resistance: a way of reclaiming the image and redirecting repressive gazes toward the strength of desires, resistance.
