Da Grau is an iconographic research on the practice of rearing. The collection of images taken from the internet traces of representations of the gesture in the equestrian portrait to the young riders in rural and suburban areas. Samir thwarts Google algorithms to find representations of women on horseback or on motorcycles and non-western men, for this he searches these images by entering the word rearing in different languages such as the term \u00abda grau\u00bb in Brazilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samir Laghouati-Rashwan, born in 1992 in Arles and currently based in Marseille, is a French artist who graduated from the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure d’art & de design Marseille-M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e. In his practice, Samir Laghouati-Rashwan seizes upon small objects masquerading as mundane, quotidian, contemporary and above all apolitical. A tonic bottle or a tracksuit rolled up at the ankle. Shopping trolleys and caravan car windows. The work that he develops around these objects however undermines their claim to be anodyne; they become bearers of colonial histories and geopolitical complexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samir Laghouati-Rashwan has recently shown his work in the exhibition \u201cHijack City\u201d at the Scep gallery (2021, Marseille), the festival \u201cLes Chichas de la pens\u00e9e\u201d at Magasins g\u00e9n\u00e9raux (2021, Pantin), \u00ab Sur pierres br\u00fblantes \u00bb at Friche de la Belle de Mai (2020, Marseille) or in \u00ab Diaspora at home \u00bb in Fondation Kadist (2022, Paris).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
