MEMORY OF A LAND (2017, VOSC, 13’)
Samira Badran
Palestine. A body is trapped in a checkpoint, an essential mechanism of the Israeli occupation. The body is pierced by structural and physical, aggressive and arbitrary violence that prevents its free movement and attacks its existence.
1.141 KM
Karim Khourrou Gadour
1,141 km is the distance between home and my house. As the son of Moroccan immigrants, Karim (Tarragona, 2000) documents the journey that thousands and thousands of families make every summer coinciding with the school holidays. This route becomes a pilgrimage. The journey is taken as a return, but there comes a point where you have already lived more time “abroad” than “at home”. With this idea in mind, the photographer explores the strange feeling that occurs when you realize that the concept of home is diffuse and it is almost impossible to place it in a specific place. In the end, one always wonders if he goes there or returns to Morocco.
Khourrou studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, where he discovered a passion for photography. His work explores cultural miscegenation and identity conflict, aspects in which his work stands out Ghorba (2020-2022). He has received institutional recognition and exhibited in spaces such as the Light Festival and the Vila Casas Foundation.
