Harilay Rabenjamina
Born in 1992, Harilay Rabenjamina lives and works in Paris.
His work takes the form of films, photographs, installations, performances and musical compositions. He works across a wide range of image and narrative registers, from television and film to the media, advertising and decoration. Through writing that sometimes resembles pastiche, his practice reinvests gestures and language from codified genres, whose heritage he explores, from homage to criticism. In so doing, he attempts to reveal the fictional dimension of these genres, in terms of both their emancipatory force and their power to alienate.
His work has been shown at the Frac Île-de-France, Palais de Tokyo, Maison Populaire, Lafayette Anticipations, Capc musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux, Rencontres d'Arles, Ballet National de Marseille, Théâtre de l'Arsennic - Les Urbaines, Jameel Arts Centre, CACN - Centre d'art contemporain de Nîmes, Centrale Fies, Auto Italia, Frac des Pays de la Loire, Fondation Louis Vuitton and Goswell Road.
