Ziad Naitaddi by Icaro July 04, 2024 0 Portfolios, ResidenciasTransito

Born in 1995 in Rabat, Ziad Naitaddi is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Rabat, Morocco. He has thus been photographing since 2015, mainly in black and white, and exploring the experimental possibilities of the medium. If he oscillates between digital and ante-digital practice, he favors the slowness of the process of the latter to short-circuit the proliferation of images of our daily lives. So much so that he sometimes moves away from the physical act of photographing. In this perspective, he re-appropriates archives, written and oral testimonies or even returns to his own photographs a few years after their development. He calls all these narrative possibilities, which go beyond the sole use of the camera, photographic exhumation. His work has been exhibited in several shows, including the 13th Dakar Biennale, Sharjah Art Foundation, Museo Nazionale MAXXI in Roma…etc.
