Hassan Hajjaj: Maison Marocaine de la Photographie

Hassan Hajjaj transforms the Maison Européenne de la Photographie into the Maison Marocaine de la Photographie from 11 September to 17 November: the first major retrospective in France dedicated to the Moroccan artist presents nearly 100 works spanning the past 30 years featuring all of his most important photographic series as well as video works, sculptural installations and furniture.

Hassan Hajjaj combines ethnic influences, logos and everyday objects, taking all kinds of clichés and giving them a contemporary, sometimes deliberately kitsch form: soft drinks crates become benches, paint pots are made into stools, road signs and shop signs are turned into tables, and tin cans are transformed into chandeliers.
