Halida Boughriet, a French and Algerian artist, is used to explore a broad media range making performance a central issue to her artistic expression. At the crossroad of aesthetic, political and social concerns, her productions strive to capture and translate tensions made obvious in human relationships and society, in some given historical and social context, including the emotions conveyed in individual and collective memory. The omnipresence of human bodies is an essential aspect of her poetical/experimental work.
