The HSBC Photography Prize supports 2 photographers each year
laureates, having never published a monographic work, in the production
of a traveling exhibition accompanied by production assistance. \n \nAassmaa
Akhannouch was inspired by her childhood home in Morocco for
to create this series that explores her memories. The photographer makes us relive
the spirit of places by replaying scenes, like suspended moments, in
this house where the old, broken television and the telephone that don't work remain
will ring no more, the dress long forgotten in the wardrobe… \nThen follows the
drawing time, a long time which mixes techniques and materials. In its
laboratory, the photographer goes from the negative to the cyanotype, which will be fired and
enhanced with watercolor to highlight some details of the image. Aassmaa
Akhannouch thus reveals the passing of time and sketches the vision of a Morocco
timeless, imbued with universal childhood memories.
