“Cluster of Matter” Exhibition by Bochra Taboubi

“Cluster of Matter” is a thought-provoking exhibition by the talented visual artist, Bochra Taboubi, who possesses a deep fascination with the intricate relationship between humans and nature. The exhibition unfolded from October 5th to 7th, 2023, at Danseurs Citoyens Sud’s secondary venue in Jara, Gabes.

Bochra Taboubi’s work in “Cluster of Matter” invites viewers into a realm of visual contemplation that centers on the vanishing paleontological heritage of the Metlaoui region, a phosphate mining town in Tunisia.

The work stages a dialogue between the fictional and the natural while sketching a repertoire of chimerical forms and creatures in an attempt to conjure the fauna and flora that could have existed. 

At the core of Bochra’s artistic methodology lies a journey of exploration. She delves into landscapes, pores over historical records, and draws from paleontological sources, weaving these elements into a reimagined array of specimens.

Hence, Bochra Taboubi’s work is a fusion of artistic creativity and historical insight.
