At the musée de l’Armée in Paris, there is a wing dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte’s campaign in Egypt. In this part-comic, part-serious decolonial reading, Egyptian artist Amir Youssef brings to life the figurines of this diorama, who join in the expansion of the conquering megalomaniac’s empire, culminating in a surreal meeting with the Great Sphinx of Giza.
