More information
This picture was produced during the shooting of Garden Conversation (digital film, 18', Abraaj Art Prize 2014). In Garden Conversation, Khalili revisits the heritage of the hero and precursor of anti-colonial struggle Abdelkrim Al Khattabi (Ajdir, Northern Morocco, 1882 - Cairo, 1963). Born in the Rif region and educated in Melilla, Khattabi invented and experimented modern methods of Guerilla warfare that inspired many anti-colonial leaders as Ho Chi Minh and Ernesto Guevara. In this photo produced parallely to the film, Khalili combines metonymic details and metaphors to emphasize the haunting spectres of colonialism still haunting our present-time and geography.

Esta imagen procede del rodaje de Garden Conversation, una película hecha por la artista en 2014 que le mereció el premio de arte Abraaj el mismo año. En Garden Conversation, Khalili revisitaba la herencia del héroe y precursor de la lucha anticolonial Abdelkrim Al Khattabi (Ajdir, norte de Marruecos, 1882 - El Cairo, 1963). Nacido en la región del Rif y educado en Melilla, Khattabi inventó y experimentó métodos modernos de guerra de guerrillas que inspiraron a muchos líderes anticoloniales como Ho Chi Minh y Ernesto Guevara. En esta fotografía producida paralelamente a la película, Khalili combina detalles metonímicos y metáforas para enfatizar los fantasmas inquietantes del colonialismo que aún atormentan nuestra actualidad y geografía.

Aquesta imatge procedeix del rodatge de Garden Conversation, una pel·lícula feta per l'artista en 2014 que li va merèixer el premi d'art Abraaj el mateix any. En Garden Conversation, Khalili revisitava l'herència de l'heroi i precursor de la lluita anticolonial Abdelkrim Al Khattabi (Ajdir, nord del Marroc, 1882 - el Caire, 1963). Nascut a la regió del Rif i educat a Melilla, Khattabi va inventar i va experimentar mètodes moderns de guerra de guerrilles que van inspirar a molts líders anticolonials com Ho Chi Minh i Ernesto Guevara. En aquesta fotografia produida paral·lelament a la pel·lícula, Khalili combina detalls metonímics i metàfores per a emfatitzar els fantasmes inquietants del colonialisme que encara turmenten la nostra actualitat i geografia.
