Mohamed Bourouissa

Born in Algeria in 1978, Mohamed Bourouissa is a visual artist who lives and works in Gennevilliers. In his work, he seeks to describe contemporary society through its contours, taking a critical look at the images produced by the mass media. The subjects of his photographs and videos are abandoned individuals caught in the crossfire of integration and exclusion. After a long period of immersion, each of his projects seeks to construct a new situation of enunciation, likely to produce other representations of the margins. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Centre Pompidou, the Barnes Foundation, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Rencontres de la photographie in Arles. He also took part in the Venice, Lyon, Berlin and Sydney biennials. In 2020, he won the Deutsche Boerse Photography Foundation prize for his exhibition Libre échange, presented at the Monoprix in Arles as part of the Rencontres internationales de la photographie. As part of the Festival d'Automne 2023, he presented Quartier de femmes for the first time, co-created with Zazon Castro.
