STATEMENT

In this project, I embraced the spirit of pure experimentation, allowing the process to guide the outcome. I used the scanner of my home printer to scan random objects, transforming them into intriguing visual compositions. This spontaneous exploration resulted in a series of captivating images, which I then compiled into a video using Filmora. This experimentation and curiosity affords me the freedom to explore new mediums, textures, and media without the constraints of predefined outcomes. It is an opportunity to uncover the potential of the material and the process I engage with.

SEE DJERBA YOUNG MASTERS

This year’s YOUNG MASTERS have been prepared for the first public art activities in a boot camp in Gabes in cooperation with DANCERS CITIZENS SOUTH. The long-term cooperation with DANCERS CITIZENS SOUTH — home in Gabes — and SEE DJERBA Media Art Project — located in Houmt Souk — is a pioneering initiative to address the imbalance of art and culture opportunities between Tunisia’s capital and its southern regions. Both organizations foster the networking of art and culture organizations in the South, create opportunities for artistic expression, develop talent and resources, and promote cultural decentralization. They feature transdisciplinary collaborations in media art, dance, and music, develop public art projects to revitalize southern urban spaces and provide mentoring and funding programs for emerging southern artists. In various co-operations, they seek to nurture and amplify southern Tunisia’s unique voices and creativity, where art and culture initiatives have historically been less prevalent. It nurtures a thriving arts scene in the south, celebrating local heritage while embracing contemporary forms of expression.
