Randa Maroufi

Jerada is a mining town in Morocco, where coal extraction - officially halted in 2001 - has continued informally to this day. L’mina reconstructs current activity in the pits through a set designed in collaboration with the local residents, who perform their own roles on screen.

Bab Sebta is built of a series of reconstructions of diverse situations observed in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in the North of Morocco. A place where manufactured goods are entering the state exempt of taxes, to be sold at a discount prices in the cities of northern Morocco. Every day, thousands of people engage in cross-border exchanges of all kinds, more or less legal. Based on situations witnessed while crossing the border, this experimental video reconstructs the mise-en-scène of this unique place, involving real smugglers and police reports on trafficking, tricks and occasional tragedies.

Depicting a transvestite who worked for a family without them knowing her gender.

Portrait of youths in an abandoned amusement park in Casablanca, in meaningful tableaus inspired by social media. "I am here, I exist."

Women „intruders“ occupy – the time of a mise en scène – the public space. They take on the same gestures, the same postures, as those of the men in such places without minding the passage of time. They occupy the terraces, expose themselves in the strangeness of a public space of exclusion – that of gender.

Like an inventory of everyday office gestures, we see, among others, a receptionist on the phone, a man consulting files, a work meeting... Little by little, unusual events take place that change our relationship with this common space.
