De nit, un estranger cava tombes, enterra els difunts i els vetlla. A la foscor, ens revela els efectes personals dels morts. Aquests objectes, separats dels seus amos, porten les seves cicatrius i la seva història, mentre que altres es fonen fins a convertir-se en enigmes.
Younes Ben Slimane is a Tunisian artist, filmmaker and architect. In 2020, he joined Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. His training as an architect has a major influence on his approach as an artist. Working through film, video, drawing and installation, he establishes a permanent dialogue between architecture and visual arts, where different mediums coexist and reflect their respective potentialities and limits. He has participated in contemporary art events including Jaou Tunis (TN) and Documenta fifteen (DE). His work has been shown at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris (FR), Selma Feriani Gallery in Sidi Bou Saïd (TN), Mucem in Marseille (FR) and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje (MK). His films have been selected in international festivals including Locarno Film Festival, CPH:DOX and DokuFest. In 2021, he received the Studio Collector Award.
