Huguette Caland

This video captures a conversation between Hannah Feldman, curator of the exhibition Huguette Caland: A Life in a Few Lines, and Morad Montazami, an art historian specialising in contemporary art from the Middle East and North Africa. The discussion explores the key elements that define Huguette Caland’s artistic output, focusing on four main aspects: the artist’s socio-historical context and background; her approach to the body, particularly in relation to the erotic, the sexual and gender; the presence of writing in her visual art; and, finally, her later works, created from the year 2000 onwards.
