IN THE EYES OF: BACHIR TAYACHI - EP.3

Art Explora
Marseille

Dive into the unique perspective of Tunisian artist Bachir Tayachi in this third episode of “In the Eyes Of,” where we follow his journey during an artist residency in Marseille.

Born in 1995, Bachir Tayachi lives and works in Tunis. Through his preferred mediums of photography, video, and drawing, he develops an artistic practice rooted in capturing raw emotions, while questioning the complexity of identity.

As part of the Art Explora festival’s crossed residencies programme, Bachir Tayachi spent a month in Marseille, where the culture, the Mediterranean sea, and the diversity of stories shaped his project.

In Marseille, his project explores identity and the relationship with the body, through multiple and contrasting experiences. Here, he has been working on his first soloshow, In My Room, which runs from October 12 to November 5 at JAOU, Biennale de Tunis.

IN THE EYES OF: RENATA POLJAK - EP. 2

Art Explora
Marseille
Discover the second episode of "Through the Eyes Of", featuring Croatian artist Renata Poljak. Known for her use of diverse media such as photography, installation, film and video, Poljak creates works rich in metaphor, exploring contemporary political, economic and social issues. His videos and installations fuse documentary techniques with fictional narrative to address migration, both historical and current. As part of the programme residency program at the Art Explora festival, Renata Poljak developed Songs for the Sea, a project that explores the interplay between philosophy, science, utopia and mythology linked to the sea. The work also addresses ecological challenges through video installation and performance, highlighting the role of song in Mediterranean myths. By examining marine life, such as plankton, her work poetically navigates from the microscopic to the vast. Artist: Renata Poljak Produced by: Art Explora Location: Zagreb

Under The Azure exhibition booklet

Art Explora
Marseille
The exhibition Under the azure takes as its starting point a Hittite myth (the Hittites were a people of Asia Minor who lived in the 2nd millennium B.C.) according to which, every evening, the sun would fall into the sea at the moment of its setting. Under the azure brings together works by some twenty international artists, both historic and emerging, whose artistic practice has been nourished by a fascination for the Mediterranean Sea. The exhibition reflects the dreams and fears of the Mediterranean Sea, from the people who inhabit it to the dramas it witnesses.

Exhibition booklet UNDERTOW

Art Explora
Marseille
The title of the exhibition UNDERTOW / Undertow refers to the water current at the bottom, which moves in the opposite direction to the current observed at the surface. The exhibition thus explores the Mediterranean Sea, its surface currents and those of the depths: the stories that intertwine there, the human experiences that it binds and rests upon. For it is both a place of travel and exile, of hope and disillusionment, of life and death. The works presented - by artists from different regions of the Mediterranean basin - reflect a diversity of viewpoints that challenge the often well-established prejudices about the region's migratory phenomena. By giving them space, voice and form, the works reveal the power of the stories and their protagonists.
