b. 1989, France
Radouan Zeghidour's practice centres around the ideas of clandestine, mystery, legend, ruin, memory and ephemerality. His works hovers between reality and non-reality or marginal reality, ranging from hallucination to dream, often inspired by his underground activities at places extremely difficult to access for most people.
Zeghidour works across media, including metal, latex, silicone, plaster, wax, paper, photography and video. He also investigates the potential of words and languages in the framework of visual art, engraving excerpts from novels or his own verses on metal, marble or plaster.
