Ben Slama Safouane
Ben Slama Safouane (1987),Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. A Paris-I Panthéon-Sorbonne graduate in philosophy and curatorial studies, Safouane is a French-Tunisian artist living and working in Paris. After a theoretical curriculum, he dived into image creation. His work addresses notions of the in-between, the threshold, and the limit. In the series he shot in the US, Palestine, Jordan, Cuba, North Africa as well as in the Paris suburbs, he explores spaces that interrogate the ideas of sidelines and territory, unveiling the marks and gestures of their occupiers, especially the young ones, as they come together. His work has been shown at the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, at La Boîte in Tunis and in the Contemporary Art Center Of Brétigny, as well as featured in Paper Journal, Vice, i-D, and Dazed. His work is part of the contemporary art collection of Paris.
