- Ismaïl Bahri
- Lives and works in Paris and Tunis. His work incorporates many cultural and aesthetic references, developing sensitive and precise visual experiments. The results take varying forms, and involve the manipulation and transformation of basic materials, often through mechanically inspired gestures and procedures related to cinema or photography. While the production of traces constitutes a revelatory act, Bahri equally privileges experiences that build on the organic and fleeting nature of things. From the strange rituals invented by the artist emerges a questioning of the limits of the visible, and of perception itself.
