Fayçal Baghriche

20 Jan-29 Feb 2012

Overview

To coincide with Fayçal Baghriche’s current residency at A.i.R Dubai, Delfina Foundation is showcasing four of his short films to kick-start a new film programme for 2012. Fayçal Baghriche works with performance, photography, film and sculpture, examining everyday existence, behavioural forms and collective symbols. He often transforms the public realm into a venue for startling transgressions, absurd scenarios, and minimalist actions tinged with humour. He has shaped an artistic practice that embodies a distinctive state of mind and triggers thoughtful critical reaction.
