About the Item
Rita Alaoui has always felt a deep connection with the living. Beginning as a painter—her primary medium—She later expanded into installation and performance, exploring the relationships humans establish with non-human entities and what they can teach us.
For over ten years, She has built a collection of organic objects—memories of living forms threatened by ecosystem degradation. Like an archaeologist, She collects, classifies, draws, and integrates them into her paintings and installations. This evolving collection continues to inspire her work and research.
Growing up in Morocco, the ocean was her first source of inspiration. Since 2019, living in Paris, she has gathered objects from forests and countryside, and her paintings—at the heart of her artistic production—depict terrestrial and aquatic landscapes: lush, mysterious, human-absent, yet marked by traces of presence. Plants remain central to Alaoui practice, studied aesthetically, scientifically, and materially, fueling an imaginative universe within her work.
Alaoui practice blends references from botany, herbalism, animism, ritual, and ancestral knowledge, weaving a unified territory that transcends borders between Morocco and other lands. Through this, she aims to convey the interconnectedness of life and cultures, promoting ecological awareness, sustainability, and care for our planet.
As an artist, Alaoui seek to rethink our relationship with the world, reinterpret the familiar, and imagine connections with the extraordinary.
