Simohammed Fettaka is a multidisciplinary artist, born in 1981. He currently lives and works between Tangier and Paris. Fettaka studied Philosophy and Signal Processing in Morocco and later trained in filmmaking at La Femis, Paris. He founded and continues to direct the yearly Tangiers film festival Cinema Nachia.
His work predominantly uses the medium of film, however it also incorporates photography and collage and extends to other art forms such as installation, sound art and performance. At the centre of his work is a reflection on the presentation of the image. This graphic personal interpretation is based on collective memory: the individual visual experience must thereby lead us to question our sense of ourselves.
