“LIVING IN THE CITY can be hard. People are always in a rush, but we also live personal moments side by side; we feel together. A man eating his sandwich, a woman walking by, we all live part of our lives in public. I want to pay attention to these moments of shared intimacy.”
— Artist Narimane Mari

Artist Narimane Mari curated by award-winning curator Catherine Sicot

“Narimane is a force of nature. Her films take you by surprise. You embark on mesmerizing flows of images and sound, and suddenly, you fall back on bare reality. She captures the extraordinary where most people don't see it.”
