Thirty Days Running in The Place reveals Basiony jogging daily for one hour while wearing a suit of electronic sensors that picked up how far he ran and how much sweat he produced.

Basiony's work is all the more poignant as he was shot dead during the January 2011 Egyptian uprising. Thirty Days Running in The Place will be shown alongside footage filmed by the artist in Tahrir Square days before his death.
