The result of an artistic and friendly encounter, the Prolongations exhibition brings together M'barka Amor, Ouassila Arras, and Dalila Dalléas Bouzar around a common theme. Designed by the artists, the exhibition was developed with the collaboration of curator and art critic Horya Makhlouf, invited by the ICI to support the development and resonance of their proposals. Together, they bring together intimate stories and collective imaginations. Sculptures, installations, paintings, embroideries, and drawings make up a journey that blends dreams of glory, battered bodies, and disillusionment, between locker rooms and stands, light and shadow.

 

Treating the exhibition space as a field of competition and resistance, the artists question the promises and dead ends of sport, revealing the social, economic, and symbolic determinisms that shape trajectories. Behind the game, strategies for circumventing and reinventing reality take shape.
