In this breakthrough series of photographs, Deutsche Börse award-winner Mohamed Bourouissa chose to appropriate the codes of history painting by staging scenes with his friends and acquaintances in the Paris banlieues where they used to hang out. Confrontations, gatherings, incidents, looks, and frozen gestures all suggest a palpable tension. Invoking Delacroix as much as Jeff Wall, Bourouissa's high drama in the outskirts of Paris attempts to give a place in French history to individuals usually neglected and overlooked in contemporary society.
Périphérique was completed from 2005-2008, in the context of unprecedented riots and violence in the French banlieues against social inequality. This landmark publication of the Périphérique series in 2021 includes never-before-published images, and will look back on the work's original context in light of still-prescient social, economic and political issues, through the eyes of three newly-commissioned texts.
