Randa Maroufi

Randa Maroufi presents her first solo exhibition in Spain in Barcelona, with a selection of films, photographs and installations that traces more than a decade of work on the body as a social construction.

The show brings together work from more than ten years of Randa Maroufi's career and is her first solo exhibition in Spain. Its axis is the body understood as something shaped by political, economic and institutional structures, and by devices such as bureaucracy, labour, the border or public space.

The ensemble combines films, photographs and installations that move between documentary and fiction. The works show how gestures, movements and bodily attitudes can construct collective imaginaries, and they present the body as a reality conditioned by systems of regulation, control and representation.

The proposal is presented at Fabra i Coats - Fàbrica de Creació, a Barcelona space that hosts exhibitions and cultural activities. Maroufi offers a reading of presence, movement and the way we inhabit spaces as outcomes of those systems.
