Explorer of a society in which she reveals the tensions and ambiguities, Jamila Lamrani cultivates audaciousness through her installations connecting the opposites with a stretched thread, power and fragility, exterior and intimacy, gravity and ascent. Sensitive to the world as well as the places she visited, she carves the void that she constantly feeds with her curiosity to open a new dialogue between time and space.
