In these years, people who are dominated by their emotions suffer from severe depression. But when a lunar year is also a year of 13 moons, like 1978, it often results in personal catastrophes.” -The opening monologue of In a Year of 13 Moons by R. W. Fassbinder We have built the world upon time and time upon the Moon and the Sun. Two contradicting cycles, two different concepts of time that do not overlap, and it is as if we are caught in the middle. The Moon navigates around us, descending and escalating time and again. The Sun has wrapped the Earth around its waist like a hula hoop, swaying it between day and night. We are in a year of 13 moons, right in the middle of the 13th full moon. It feels like it has begun without an end. A […]

OFFICINE DELL’IMMAGINE HALIDA BOUGHRIET   « Out of Place » May 16 – July 13, 2019 Curated by Silvia Cirelli, the exhibition Out of Place will present recent work by this talented artist in an Italian exclusive. Already recognised internationally for exhibitions at Centre Pompidou and Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Rabat Biennale, the Los Angeles Depart Foundation, Documenta 14 and the 11th Dak’Art Biennial, Boughriet is surprising for her rare expressive eclecticism, ranging from photography to video and performance, in which she herself becomes the spokesperson for the artistic message. Always attentive to the exploration of socio-cultural, behavioural and geopolitical themes concerning current cultural situation, Boughriet translates the precariousness of a historical moment marked by a sense of uprooting, an absence of communication between people and by the need for belonging. Coming to authentic emotional essentiality and completely laying bare human vulnerabilities, this young artist’s narrative sees the body as the focal point of the entire creative journey. With the spasmodic urgency of filling the void created by a painful nomadic dynamism, the body’s symbolism is what drives the search and becomes, above all, an allegory of the return of identity. The core of the exhibition is Boughriet’s Border […]

Rift in Time, 2017, 68×100 cm, Courtesy de l’artiste, production IESA Série photographique couleur en cours. La photographie Rift In Time vient d’une série photographique dans laquelle l’artiste se focalise sur la « tabâa », terme qui désigne la marque laissée sur le front dû à la prosternation lors des rites de prière musulmans. Ce stigmate attesterait d’une assiduité religieuse et apparaitrait au fil du temps tel un tatouage qui s’encre dans la peau. Aussi il serait un symbole de représentation sociale et se réfère à un dialogue esthétique très codifié. Rift in Time, met en lumière les empreintes laissées par la vie et par la prière. Empreintes emblématiques de mythes ritualisés provenant de civilisations ancestrales aux géographies diverses. Cette œuvre  soulève des questionnements sur la ritualité, la sincérité et l’imagerie de ces mythes. DANS MES MAINS, DANS MES RÊVES MÊME,  Au Patio Opéra ( Paris)
