One of the guest artists present at the 19th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil | Southern Panoramas, Yto Barrada, comments the creative process of her artwork Wallpaper Tangier, featured at Sesc Pompeia’s gallery, at the exhibition Southern Panoramas | Guest Artists. The photographic panel is the picture of a café’s wallpaper in Tangier, a Moroccan city located 30 kilometers off the Spanish coast, and it depicts a generic idyllic landscape. Yto discusses her work with young immigrants in Tangier, and she describes how—while teaching photography—she got in touch with their perceptions of public and private space, geographic space, as well as the works they conceived. The artist refers to the fact that, in the nineties, Tangier’s border was closed although almost half of the Moroccan population had moved to Europe after the war, functioning as a Berlin Wall. Finally, Yto also points out that, through a detail, one can acknowledge the panel as an image within an image, which somehow hints at the fictitious dimension of a life marked by convenience, waiting on the other side of the border, and tensions real life and the desire to belong to another reality.
