Born in Morocco in 1988, Meriem Bennani is currently based in New York. Juxtaposing and mixing the language of reality TV, documentaries, phone footage, animation, and high production aesthetics, she explores the potential of storytelling while amplifying reality through a strategy of magical realism and humour. She has been developing a shape- shifting practice of films, installations and immersive environments, composed with a subtle agility to question our contemporary society. Bennani’s work has been shown at MoMA PS1, Art Dubai, and the Shanghai Biennale among other venues.
