This partial retrospective brings together the multimedia work of interdisciplinary, Rabat-born, New-York based artist, Meriem Bennani.

Spanning work from the past decade in which the human and non-human continuously interact and coalesce, the programme traces the trajectory of an artist in the lead up to their latest and most personal filmic work, Bouchra. Laced with mischief and cyber aesthetics, the works facilitate an encounter with the distinct cityscapes and animated experiments that would inform Bouchra, as well as more incidental insights into Benanni’s work, such as her sculptural artistry and the student film of long-term collaborator and Bouchra co-director Orian Barki. In doing so, we tour multiple iterations of Bennani’s layered, gameified and sonically heightened renderings, often entering the intimacy of homosocial and familial spaces. A consistently playful body of work, Bennani’s filmography reimagines, embellishes, caricatures and superimposes the artist’s surroundings, exploring not just the malleability of worlds but that of the bodies which inhabit them.
