Author: Bennani, Meriem
This publication documents, analyses and comments on new works by New York–based Moroccan artist Meriem Bennani in relation to her previous production and the cultural context in which she works. Bennani’s works explore the potential of storytelling while amplifying reality through a strategy of fantastical imagery and humour, juxtaposing and mixing the language of YouTube videos, reality TV, documentaries and animation.Throughout her career, she has developed a shape-shifting practice of films, sculptures and immersive installations questioning contemporary society and its fractured identities, gender issues and dominance of digital technologies. Combining a new site-specific, large-scale installation with an art film codirected with Orian Barki, the project documented here, her most ambitious, explores ways of being together in public and intimate sociopolitical settings.
ISBN 9788887029925. Fondazione Prada. pb. 260 pages. 270 colour, 2 b/w ills. 22.9 x 17.2 cm.
