Since 1993, Mohamed El baz has been creating a work entitled  Bricoler l’incurable (Mending the incurable).  His leitmotiv provides him with an ongoing, never ending and always controversial installations; as components or “details” find a place and adapt to each new concept.

His work has three orientations through which Mohamed El baz crosses boundaries and categories: daily, autobiographical and playful; the work itself becomes mobile and turns into a different story.
Mohamed El baz questions the notions of borders and territories and all that works to erect barriers between people.
