Barrada, Yto 1971-
Abstract:
French-Moroccan artist Yto Barrada (b. 1971, Paris) gained recognition in 2004 with "A Life Full of Hope - The Strait Project," a photographic series in which she offers an unexpected portrait of her hometown Tangier, a legendary city finally revealed in its complexity and contradictions. Her work, which also includes films, installations, sculptures, and publications, is an artistic reflection on postcolonial history and present-day geopolitical changes, a combination of documentary strategies and a meditative approach to images. This reference monograph gives an overview of Yto Barrada's practice - a practice that deals with history and geography, family stories and layered memories from Tangier, a thrilling place from which to address contemporary issues
