Charif Benhelima investigates the notion of identity, memory/oblivion, document, and truth through images that explore perception, time and space, and a sense of invisibility. Besides having worked with analogical photography, he has been long experimenting with Polaroid 600. Worked out in long terms, Benhelima’s diverse aesthetic, formal and conceptual research compose nevertheless a coherent oeuvre.
Charif Benhelima (b. 1967, Brussels) lives and works in Antwerp. Benhelima holds a three month residency at Iaspis in Malmö (May-July 2012).
