Borderless | Group Show

October 1, 2022 - November 26, 2022 | Bhar Lazrag

Continuing a practice that has lasted for about fifteen years, the Borderless exhibition marks Yosr Ben Ammar Gallery’s journey into a new space located in a strategic area, Bhar Lazreg, known for its vibrant and diverse cultural activity.

In this new venue, with Borderless, the gallery presents a perspective that reflects its vision.
Dream without limits…
Dream worlds…
Dream the world…

Create magical spaces/images, invent realms of wonder in the face of a world that is always incoherent, inaccessible, and indifferent.
The meeting of five artists—four painters and one photographer—offers five universes to explore, leading us to meditate on dreams; to contemplate them, to pause for a moment to See; to see our dreams reflected in the mirror of another.

Nabil Saouabi, with a pictorial approach that uses an exuberant palette, combines reality and fiction by opening a Pandora’s box where multiple references and registers coexist within his forests and mysterious thickets populated by animals in strange proportions.

Slimen Elkamel’s figures tell their stories point by point, grain by grain like grains of sand, cataloging a constantly fleeting plurality; like the sandman, he captivates us with these granular, fragmented narratives.

Halim Karabibene works and opens onto the dreamlike in a unique scenography that intertwines figure and object, space and void, movement and stillness, prompting both fantasy and hallucination.
The gigantic and voluptuous figures of Feryel Lakhdhar reveal themselves to be seen and touched, traversing the sensual and colorful curves of these idle and secret “young ladies.”

Amira Lamti’s landscapes gracefully plant the Tree of Life, offering humanity a path to redemption. These “kinds of spaces” describe a photographic approach that captures the moment and detail, space and time—the infinitely large and the infinitely small—playing with the contingencies of frame and perception.

Generations of artists like these inspire and embody the gallery’s spirit, allowing unlimited and ever-renewed freedom to explore the possibilities in artistic creation in Tunisia. Such ambition aims to anchor these practices both in the collective imagination and in the art market.
