N9 / Hicham Berrada


N9 / Hicham Berrada

Establishing himself facing the sea for the MéPIC, Berrada creates a space from which to contemplate reality in such a way as to give rise to a back-and-forth between the real landscape and the fictional landscapes depicted on video. L’Arche de Miller, a kind of ‘primitive ocean’ which recreates the primary conditions necessary to the appearance of life, is shown here before the sea, creating a play of mirror images and reflections. Berrada then places the viewer in a timeless space in which an unreal landscape and scientific experiments contribute to the creation of a sentient environment.
