Mohssin Harraki works with drawings, video installations, photography and performances, as they are different means to question important social and political issues. The artist questions cultural constructions, as well as post-colonial consequences and collective imaginaries. He is interested in themes such as genealogy, power transmission, and the formation of collective consciousness.
Generally, the artist starts with a dialogue, whether it is with his peers, artists or with people he meets on the street, like during his participation in « Jeûne » in 2011 in Toulon. In his installations, he explores written and literary themes that he diverts from their traditional usages. In a broader way, all of his projects aim at exploring cultural construction mechanisms and the constitution of the collective memory and imaginary.
