The Solo Show by artist Amina Zoubir, entitled "Les corps oublies" (Forgotten Bodies), invites Parisian audiences to explore the representation and appropriation of the body through photographs of colonial and ethnographic influence, taken from archives and documents collected during her research at the Markk Museum in Hamburg, Germany and the Etnografiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.collected during this research at the Markk Museum in Hamburg, Germany, and the Etnografiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
The photographic collages resulting from this process of reflection will be in dialogue with the artist's wax sculptures.
About the Exhibition
The "Forgotten Bodies" exhibition highlights the work of artist Amina Zoubir over the last 4 years, looking at the representation and appropriation of the female and male body in photographs influenced by the colonial period. The MARKK
Museum's photo collection contains many images that pose a challenge for the museum as historical objects and testimonies.
The reappearance of the artist Amina Zoubir
What distinguishes the work of artist Amina Zoubir is her ability to deliberately deconstruct these difficult portraits and the images and imagination they convey.
The people depicted are placed on the same level as their subjects, breaking with their original historical context to make them visible in a new way. The serial reproduction in the form of collages denounces the large number of women and men affected by this colonial appropriation of their bodies.
Face to face with engaged wax sculptures
Amina Zoubir uses wax sculptures to express human struggles and explore physical and mental identity. These works question the established order and highlight global social issues.
An intimate dialogue
The juxtaposition of artist Amina Zoubir's serial collages and wax sculptures creates a striking visual conversation. The collages reinterpret the stories of women and men from former colonies, while the wax sculptures give a physical and tangible dimension to the struggles for humanity and dignity. This intimate dialogue between two media explores the duality of representation and reality, inviting the public to contemplate how art can reveal the hidden layers of our collective understanding. This confrontation offers a fresh perspective on resilience and strength in the face of oppression uniting these two artistic expressions in a profound exploration of identity and memory.
