Meriem Bennani,
‘Party on the CAPS’
@ C L E A R I N G,
New York
—
“A rebus of present-
day personal anxieties,
strained through sci-fi
fabulation...”
Born:
1988 – Rabat, Morocco.
‘Party on the CAPS’:
Set in a Moroccan
neighborhood of an
island in the Atlantic
called The Caps,
Bennani presents a
30 minute film depicting
a world of familiar but
perplexingly mutated
human relations; featuring
oddball sculptural elements,
including bleachers clad in
fake albino crocodile skin,
irregularly sized glowing
cylindrical seats, and
a wonky multi-screen
setup that fragments
and sometimes warps
the projected images.
“We don’t take
anything for granted
here—not even
bodies!”
