Randa Maroufi presents her first solo exhibition in Spain at La Fabra Centre d'Art Contemporani, a contemporary art centre in Barcelona. It brings together a selection of works created over more than ten years of practice and is built on a central idea: the body is not something natural, but a construction shaped by political, economic and institutional structures.

Across films, photographs and installations, the pieces show how different mechanisms, such as bureaucracy, work, the border or public space, regulate the presence and movement of people. The project moves between documentary and fiction to examine how gestures and bodily attitudes can come to produce collective imaginaries.

Given its approach, the exhibition is especially suited to anyone who follows contemporary art and is interested in the relationship between image, control and representation. The route invites visitors to consider the way we inhabit spaces as the result of systems of regulation, control and representation.
