Mohamed Bourouissa’s solo exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents a selection of early and recent works and spans many media: photography, sound, installation and video, including the video Temps Mort (2008­–09), in which the artist exchanges messages and grainy smartphone images with an imprisoned friend. Also featured are portraits of youth culture in central Paris, Nous Sommes Halles (2003–05), and staged depictions of French suburban ghetto street life inspired by canonical art-historical references in the series Périphéries (2006-08). These works challenge contemporary image culture and the media’s portrayals of young people with minority backgrounds.

Mohamed Bourouissa (b. 1978 in Blida, Algera) lives in Paris. He has exhibited widely – solo exhibitions include Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Haus der Kunst in Munich and most recently Goldsmiths CCA in London. He has participated in a large number of group exhibitions including the biennials in Sydney, Sharjah, Havana, Lyon, Venice, Algeria, Liverpool and Berlin. In 2018 he was nominated for the prestigious French art award Le Prix Marcel Duchamp and in 2020 he was awarded the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Award.
