BIOGRAPHIE

Mohamed Bourouissa was born in 1978 in Blida, Algeria, and currently lives and works in Gennevilliers, France. Each of Mohamed Bourouissa's projects, preceded by a lengthy immersion phase, constructs a new situation of enunciation. Contrary to falsely simplistic media constructions, the artist reintroduces complexity into the representation of the margins of hyper-visibility. His work has been exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions in France and abroad, at Palais de Tokyo in 2024, the Lam - Lille Métropole Musée d'art moderne, d'art contemporain et d'art brut à Villeneuve d’Ascq, the Musée d’Art moderne de Paris, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, basis in Frankfurt, the BAL in Paris, the Haus der Kunst in Munich, and the FRAC Franche-Comté in Besançon. He has participated in the Biennials of Sharjah, Havana, Lyon, Venice, Algiers, Liverpool, and Berlin, as well as the Milan Triennial. In 2018, he was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize. In 2017, he was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet photography prize. In 2020, he won the Deutsche Boerse Photography Foundation Prize following the exhibition "Libre échange" presented at Monoprix d'Arles as part of the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie.
