Marwan Sekkat is a French-Moroccan interdisciplinary artist living in Quebec. Simulation, the living, misappropriation, error and the absurd are at the heart of his preoccupations. Although digital technology is not at the heart of his work, it is his best ally and his tool for questioning our (his) contemporary world. His work focuses on installations that question notions of time, modernity and progress. His current research questions and deconstructs his relationship with his cultural identities. The body of work he is building questions the notion of transmission in various forms, by staging and freezing different memories in time. His practice questions the relationship between individual and collective memory, which inevitably makes him part of a decolonial approach.

While the colonial history linking France and Morocco is one of the starting points of his research, his life in Quebec has allowed him to introduce new prisms and issues of reflection into his practice. Her artistic approach builds bridges between the experimental and the sensitive. The transdisciplinarity of her practice resonates with the multiplicity of her cultural identity. By blending various digital media, such as computer simulation, automation and glitch, with craft media such as botany and traditional Moroccan embroidery, he reappropriates parts of his identity and family history. In this way, he develops a creative grammar that carries with it his cultural heritage.
