Residency presentation / open studio

Ismaïl Bahri is primarily a videographer. He sometimes uses drawing, sculpture or installation. He positions himself as an observer, setting up a device to capture gestures and empirical experiences, paying attention to what ‘happens’. His work focuses on the meaning that emerges at the periphery of the gaze, in the presence of the surrounding world that arises and reveals its presence.

This residency will revolve around periods of exploration and observation. It does not follow the logic of a specific or pre-written project, but rather an attempt to listen to what happens.
