Crossings (2012) is a three-screen video installation exploring the experience of sub-Saharan migrants who embark on the perilous journey to reach the elusive European shores. The installation combines voiceovers and static portraits with reconstructed video landscapes filmed from the imaginary viewpoint of the migrants. It is an immersive experience into the collective memory of a forgotten minority.
Leila Alaoui is a French-Morracan multimedia artist working out of Marrakech and Beirut. She is working on cultural diversity, identity, and migration using video installations, studio, and documentary photography. She is certainly an artist we should be looking out for.
