The confinement of bodies and thoughts, the representation of identities, the determination and control of languages, healing through plants, music and colour, parallel economies, alienation and resistance... Mohamed Bourouissa's work draws on intimate experiences to create collective narratives rooted in bitterness (seum, in Arabic). This first retrospective in a national institution is an opportunity to unfold the artist's work, from his most recent productions to his beginnings, including creations by artist friends, like so many bursts in time, without worrying about being exhaustive or chronological. As the earth is narrow to him, the exhibition brings together several geographies, from Blida (Algeria), the artist's home town, where psychiatrist and writer Frantz Fanon developed an analysis of mental alienation at the heart of colonial domination, to Gennevilliers, where the artist lives and is very active locally, via Fletcher Street (Philadelphia) and its community of black cowboys to the skies over Gaza.

Mission Recherche

Boris Chouvellon wanders and surveys the landscape of abandoned suburban areas, looking for monuments that symbolise a vanished utopia. The artist then uses fragments of these abandoned architectures in his sculptures. Her works take the form of constructions in which the artist attempts to restore a ‘lost urbanity’ through gestures charged with domestic significance. His artistic approach reveals a concern and a desire to resist: it's a question of fighting against the ‘inhuman’. The artist reveals a banal and ordinary cruelty, a fatal outcome, and highlights the beauty of shipwreck.

With Philippe-Alain Michaud, chef du Service des collections contemporaines
