Nissrine Seffar was born in 1983 in Morocco. She graduated from the School of Fine Arts (l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts) in Sète. She now lives and works between Paris and Casablanca. Nissrine Seffar’s work has the form of a travelogue that she punctuates with her gestures and collected objects. She addresses a poetic look at the places she visits or remembers while questioning the meaning of time and beyond the awareness of history. She encounters more than places, situations and objects that lead her to a reflection on our relationship to the world and its representations. The plasticity she uses is not an illustration – how to represent the unrepresentable, that is to say, the lost, the afraid or the unknowable – but it undoubtedly leads to a new narrative form. Her work has been presented in numerous institutions and contemporary art events in Europe, Asia and Morocco. In 2019, she is laureate of the “Coup de Cœur” Occitanie Prize at the Académie de France in Rome-Villa Médicis.
