Béchir Boussandel presents a body of work that unfolds from shadow and the heat of desert palettes. Through paintings, sculptures and delicate bird watercolours populated by anonymous figures, he examines displacement, crossing and survival within North African desert landscapes. The pieces use ochres, reds and material contrast to evoke memory and shifting identities, employing an atmospheric visual language that balances figuration and absence.

24 October – 22 November

Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement presents newly commissioned moving-image works by a selected international group of artists. The programme foregrounds experimental film, video and time-based installation, exploring contemporary approaches to narrative, spectatorship and archival practice. Public programmes and a co-edited publication accompany the commissions, situating projects within transregional dialogues and critical histories. Following an initial presentation in Tunis, the biennale will tour to Geneva and other European cities.

Permanent exhibition
