In zoos, animals are caged in isolated environments; in Basim Magdy's world, they express themselves freely through emojis, GIFs and text messages. In this curious mix of meme culture and analogue film textures, we begin to recognise ourselves in their behaviour and actions – but they look back at us and call us the 'ugly faces'.

Screens before Tenzo, also see M.A.G.N.E.T.
