Artist and filmmaker from Egypt, currently living and working between Paris and Alexandria. He earned a bachelor's degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Alexandria in 2015, where he also served as a Teaching Assistant. His experience at the university deepened his commitment to addressing social inequalities in access to educational and cultural resources in Alexandria, a focus that has significantly influenced his approach to both art and pedagogy. He later completed a master’s degree (DNSEP) at the Ecole d'art d'Aix-en-Provence in France, followed by a diplome at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains.

Amir challenges the stillness of colonial history as it is traditionally displayed in museum vitrines. His work unfolds along two main paths: one examines the absurdity of war and the historical narratives shaped by post-colonialism; the other engages with religious themes, reimagining sacred texts as poetic and transcendent experiences. 

His research is rooted in the study of early visual culture and media history, focusing on how movement and narrative evolve across different formats such as sculpture, installation, film, and video. A long-standing interest in transforming the function and significance of objects continues to guide his creative process. This ongoing inquiry has developed into a body of work he refers to as Kinemania, a personal term used to explore society’s deep fascination with visual motion. Through this lens, he creates kinetic, mobile objects that embody his investigations into movement, media, and interpretation.

His film, Apoleon, premiered at Visions du Réel in Switzerland. His work has also been featured in recent exhibitions and screenings at international venues such as Ars Electronica (Linz), Fondation Vasarely (Aix-en-Provence), Le Fresnoy – Studio National (Tourcoing), the BJCM Biennale (Milan), the Textile Industry Museum (Augsburg), the Youth Salon at the Cairo Opera House, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Alexandria).
