The monograph Magda Parasidis: Ghosts in Sunlight was published in 2021 to accompany a solo exhibition at Otterbein University in Columbus, Ohio.
With contributions by Fred Moten, MacArthur Fellow, poet, and Professor in the Departments of Performance Studies and Comparative Literature at New York University, and Maurice Stevens, Professor in the Department of Comparative Studies at the Ohio State University.
In Ghosts in Sunlight, Magda Parasidis reimagines public housing as a space of poetic revelation and political resistance. Drawing from photographs taken in and around the Marine Terrace housing project in Queens, NY, the work frames the urban landscape as both a site of economic segregation, and one of spiritual awakening. Through language-based art, Parasidis connects the personal and political, using photography as a meditative tool to make visible the structures of exclusion in the lives of the urban poor.
