ABOUT
A multi-disciplinary artist based between Paris and Marrakech,
Célia Bchir develops a practice at the crossroads of cinema, photography and the visual arts.
This work questions and explores intimate and collective narratives, weaving possible analogies between coexisting realities.
Sequencing, at the heart of this approach, creates interstices where images, texts, and artifacts enter into dialogue.
These assemblages transform fleeting impressions into tangible materiality, where gathered elements seek to evoke a muted resonance, an echo between the work and those who engage with it.
