Fouad Bouchoucha

Through its use of mediums ranging from sculpture to theatre, and from video to performance to sound, Fouad Bouchoucha’s work focuses on creating systems that test the potentiality of things. His works catalyse the possibilities of an object, a place, or a situation. They summarise or multiply the forces involved. Often, power (of a Bugatti Veyron, of a Ronnie “Mister Olympia” Coleman, of an over-amplified sound system…) is interpreted through more or less transformed or pumped up objects – a condition that seems to betray their impending malfunction. Fouad Bouchoucha is particularly interested in various types of cultural and sports activities (body building, Sound Pressure Level…), and appropriates their codes in order to develop a deeply contemporary work. His production positions itself at a tipping point, where everything can still change.
