The work of the Moroccan born French artist Latifa Echakhch, who has lived in Switzerland for years, is done in the sphere of sculpture and installation and includes video and photography. Her works are based on a study of specific aspects of social and political history such as the political radicalisation of the fifties and the emergence of the two blocks as a consequence of the Cold War. Her work becomes a tool for analysing elements which she places in a totally different context from the original one and with which she establishes a relationship which might be labelled ‘archaeological'. In the summer of 2010, Echakhch will occupy Capella MACBA and undertake a sculpture project designed for that space. Her concept will focus on the production of a specific installation.
