Three GIF animations
2020
The series of three minimal animations use Berber alphabet (Tifinagh) to illustrate motion, action, progress. The tools/actions are more obvious than the letters forming them, still unknown, and hardly identifiable to the majority. The soundtrack is made of the sound of effort, also excluding the letters. It is one way to subtly emphasize the invisibility of the communities behind the labour.

Fatima Mazmouz (b.1974, Casablanca) The bellies of silence, power and against powers, is the generic title which gathers all the works of Fatima. She creates work that critiques the social constructions of womanhood and identity, and explores colonial inheritance. The body as a tool for communication is a central theme in her work, which often includes an element of performance by the artist herself. Mazmouz pursued art history academically, which prompted her decades-long research and exploration of art history in Arab countries, studying socio-cultural phenomena at the heart of the colonial and post-colonial ruling system. Recent exhibitions include RAW QUEENS, The mosaic room, London (2019); Afriques Capitales, Parc de la Villette, Paris (2017); SUPER OUM _ Identités culturelles, Galerie Mamia Bretesché, Paris (2016).

Orkémns
Video
2020
From an autobiographical story, ORKEMN presents itself as a walk in the phantomatic Berber memory crystallized in the voice of the narrator. The evanescent images answer to a hesitant and sometimes emotional voice, which brings us back to the complexity of the question of the origin through the language between cultural attachment, territorial attachment, affective attachment… and a political attachment in exile which ends up being also fictional.

Mounir Gouri
My Land
2016
Video Loop, 2min
Mounir Gouri is a child of Duchamp. A Duchamp of the Desert, a sand dealer. This video is a passage, from sand to the nation, it is the wheel of time that composes the movements of the hands to sculpt an identity, the Algerian identity. An identity that can not do without this desert.
The Sahara on the contrary, is an obstacle. It is the fluid flowing in our hands that unite us and trace our paths and our destiny, an ocean that separates the Maghreb from the rest of the African continent. This is how the Sahara was perceived from all time. Yet many roads traverse it through and through, from north to south, from east to west. It contains regions that are among the most inhospitable of our land, but also the center of intense life. The sand that vastly covers it, constituting an obstacle, is a fluid flowing in our hands to unite us. The desert, this Sahara receptacle of destinies, is like our hands that close and also open on secret and mysterious lines of life. It is a space of circulation, of eternal paths. It is the only master of its destiny, possessing unique lines that do not resemble any other hands.

Touch my language
2020
video performance
In the world, in nations, in contemporary societies, major languages dominate, despise, and even ignore minor languages. My video performance through gestural manipulation redefines the existence of languages by doing and remaking a hierarchical game that dissolves like resistance.
