Sa Ɂakunu bayn al ma’Ɂ, atˤini wa nnar is a sculpture that also functions as a playground, a participatory installation, or a building bricks / construction toy. Something that works like a photograph to remember a place in the past or future, a landscape, a ghost of home.
An open work and geometric vocabulary where everyone is invited to touch, sketch, move objects and build an image of a house, a neighbourhood or a place from a desired elsewhere.
Sa Ɂakunu bayn al ma’Ɂ, atˤini wa nnar Is made in collaboration with Maalem Driss Dahmane who runs a workshop and oven in Tafza near Marrakech (a village of potters where the valley is rich in clay minerals) and Lorén Elhili over several months of conversations and feedback.
