Amani Bou Dargham (Alchimia) is selected for Talente with her series “WHAT REMAINS?”
« “what remains?” is a reflection about the self we create and we communicate to others. »
“We face the deepest emotions that are hidden away,
they slip through our hands and through our head.
They present themselves as a truth.
they slip through our hands and through our head.
They present themselves as a truth.
A truth that the eyes did not want to see nor the mind to think of.
A truth that reveals all the hidden remains and presents them as a reminder of your essence.
You are a carrier.
You are the carried.
You construct the link in between.”

Amani Bou Dargham – serie “WHAT REMAINS ?”
The steel hooks that are forged around my body are the carrier of an ‘ephemeral’ object.
They are shaped around it and exist only because of it.
However the hooks are ever lasting while the source disappears.
One will remain with an empty steel rod to carry as a reminder of what was inside it.
