Within a few moments, an aquatic landscape emerges. In the worlds of Hicham Berrada stunning shapes and colours appear. The chemical reactions which form and unravel are filmed and projected live for the viewers present. \u2018<em>Movement interests me, but it is above all the birth of shapes which is at the heart of my art project.

Pivotal years for Hicham Berrada, looking back on them: <em>\u2018<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jousse-entreprise.com\/art-contemporain\/fr\/artistes\/jean-luc-vilmouth\/\"><em>Jean-Luc Vilmouth<\/em><\/a><em>, who taught at the Beaux-Arts, pushed his students to try their hands at performance. That left a mark on me. It was during the same period that I opted for video and which I began to work on by filming glass objects and projecting them live. My two years at the Fresnoy allowed me to establish a principle: to produce paintings on the basis of the video medium<\/em>.\u2019 Retrospectively, his work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/unserpentdansleciel\/\"><em>Un serpent dans le ciel<\/em> <\/a>(2008), a balloon filled with helium and fitted with a smoke device, can be viewed as the validation of his modus operandi. The artist lays out the details of his approach: \u2018<em>the balloon is launched into the sky and produces a fleeting drawing in the sky. My work leans on the following method. Carry out research: how much helium is required, the quality of the smoke, studying the combustion and understanding certain parameters such as the mouth of the smoke device, which will make the line thick or not. Then, once the mechanism has been triggered, I no longer have any mastery of the work. I become a spectator and I watch the work make itself and then unravel<\/em>.\u2019 Hicham Berrada individually tests certain chemical reactions with the aim of recording the information. =Next comes the moment of intuition. \u2018<em>I don\u2019t have an image in my head, but I have a wish for tempo, to create an ecosystem of materials and reactions which could form a landscape<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hicham-Berrada_-Le-Fresnoy_Studio-national-des-arts-contemporains_Poe\u2560utique-des-Sciences_-Pre\u2560usage_Vide\u2560uo-360\u252c\u2591-HD-issue-de-performances_2017_Olivier-Anselot-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12845\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hicham Berrada, Le Fresnoy \u00a9 Olivier Anselot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hermetic worlds and variations of forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most interesting aspects in the work of Hicham Berrada is observing how the artist navigates between the art disciplines so effortlessly. Pictural art? Living installations? Videos? No matter the field of art in question. On each occasion, a hermetic world offers its magic to the visitors. In the most recent version of his series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/presage-video\/\"><em>Pr\u00e9sages<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>video enables an immersive dive. The artist describes his apparatus: \u2018<em>I film with HD cameras which allow to me work on very elongated ratios and to present my work on semicircular or circular installations <\/em>(Editor\u2019s note, one of these variations could be viewed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kikk.be\/fr\/kikk-for-all-fr\/kikk-in-town-all-fr\/hicham-berrada-fr\">most recent edition of KIKK<\/a>)<em>. They are installations through which I invite the spectators into the heart of the image, immersed within nature<\/em>.\u2019 In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/mesk-ellil\/\"><em>Mesk Ellil <\/em><\/a>(created in 2015 and presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imarabe.org\/\">Arab World Institute<\/a> in Paris up until March 2024), a set of 7 tinted glass terrariums is laid out in a room. These hermetic gardens play host to a single variety of plant: Cestrum nocturnum. Its distinctive feature? It is only at night that its greenish-white star-shaped flowers open up. Hicham Berrada\u2019s apparatus switches the process day and night and allows viewers to enjoy the rare spectacle of these flowers blooming and releasing a scent of jasmine and lime, one of the most powerful aromas of the plant world. \u2018<em>I love producing a work which lives out of step with our world. Here the nocturnal flowers live a life in reverse<\/em>,\u2019 smiles the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A work on time\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, several of Hicham Berrada\u2019s works can also be assessed through the prism of time. He himself partially concedes it: \u2018<em>the idea of slowing down, of taking some time, appeals to me. My work offers something slow and contemplative, like when you are looking at a landscape. Whilst in our societies attention requires an effort. Nature has its own rhythm, the shapes it creates need time to be constructed. In the end, time is perhaps one of the things over which human beings have no effect<\/em>.\u2019 Doubtless true. Apart from in the worlds imagined by Hicham Berrada because it is precisely this time scale on which several of his works are based. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/masse-et-martyr\/\"><em>Masse et Martyr<\/em><\/a>, presented in 2017 at the Palace of Versailles, consists of immersing bronze sculptures in aquariums through which a low electrical current is passed. The effect of electrolysis corrodes the bronzes and accelerates their decomposition. Slowly, curls of smoke lift away from the bronzes. They drift through the water and cover the bronzes with a downy covering before forming a cloudy carpet at the bottom of the tank. Hicham Berrada sums up the desired effect. \u2018<em>This procedure is an accelerated ageing: the bronze is dissolved in six months instead of 10,000 years<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1986\" data-id=\"12853\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-01-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12853\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1890\" data-id=\"12855\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-04_lumiere-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-04_lumiere-a.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-04_lumiere-a-310x230.jpg 310w, https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-04_lumiere-a-310x230-gray.gif 155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1803\" data-id=\"12857\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-8-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12857\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1802\" data-id=\"12859\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-12-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12859\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1785\" data-id=\"12861\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-13-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12861\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1807\" data-id=\"12863\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-14-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12863\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1836\" data-id=\"12866\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-15-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12866\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2018\" data-id=\"12868\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-16-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12868\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1790\" data-id=\"12870\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Permutation-17-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12870\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1893\" data-id=\"12872\" src=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/permutation18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/permutation18.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/permutation18-310x230.jpg 310w, https:\/\/kingkong-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/permutation18-310x230-gray.gif 155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship with time is also broached in a different manner in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/permutations-2\/\"><em>Permutations <\/em><\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hichamberrada.com\/portfolio\/cartes-meres\/\"><em>Cartes m\u00e8res<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> Here, he uses manufactured items \u2013 electronic components and circuit boards \u2013 which he returns to their basic elemental state, playing with the notion of reversed time. \u2018<em>Our immaterial digital world rests on objects which, when all is said and done, are material.
