Born in 1982 in Tangier, Morocco, Hamza Halloubi Across a wide range of media, including video, photography, sculpture, and installation.
Hamza Halloubi's work shows an interest both in the grammar and semiotics of film and the linguistics of language. These rather theoretical fields are then linked to more subjective issues such as memory and translation. Taking personal experience as a point of departure and filtering it through more abstract concepts, Hamza Halloubi creates attractive visual metaphors. His films develop an aesthetic, which tries to merge the internal poetic of human encounter with a rather conceptual approach, whereas his light boxes and installations investigate language's ability to evoke narratives from fragmented writings.
The artist lives and works in Brussels, Ghent and Tangier.
