From then till now: a border story from Btihal Remli
The Moroccan photographer Bithal Remli, who was in residency last year in Sierre, presents her new exhibition in Marrakech called “From then till now”. This exhibition presents the two series « The Heroes of the Mountain » and « Country of Woman » to create an amazing course: two similar and radically different worlds. After her work on Swiss alpine agriculture in Valais – where she was confronted with a different reality from that she imagined – she returned to her native country in the Moroccan mountains to work on the strong importance of the work of women in traditional farming. This exhibition is an opportunity to confront these photos, these two worlds, so different and so similar. Two times of an intelligent photographic work at work, where one can discover a socio-political reflection that surfaces in its images and how Btihal Remli transforms it into photographic matter.
