World Pressure. 2009
Installation
While this installation originates from the quotidian life of a Moroccan house wife, it intersects with pressing global issues like war and famine. S'himi transforms ordinary household items, like cooking and cleaning appliances, into tools of resistance. A pressure cooker in the shape of a world map, or colours made from Moroccan condiments: recycling creates powerful works of art that comment on the violent course that international politics has taken.
