About the Item
About the work
In her apparel paintings Yasmina Alaoui interprets a superstitious practice played out during the moussem of Lebhirate, held yearly in the province of Safi. Here, single women participate in the unusual act of throwing their apparel onto the main street for the tribal leaders to drive over it in their vehicles. Subsequently the women wear this apparel in the hope of finding a worthy spouse, as popular belief wills that the passage of vehicles ignites the hope to find a soulmate. In a remarkable literal analysis, Yasmina Alaoui soaked the apparel in tar before accumulating the pieces onto the canvas before painting the entire work black. In a less restricted interpretation Yasmina Alaoui used the apparel as templates for spraying.
