Hichem Merouche

Hichem has been invited as a featured artist in the Metaphysical Thresholds exhibition in Stockholm, where he will present a new visual artwork created specifically for this occasion, in collaboration with Yury Goybin. The project brings the two artists into an intergenerational dialogue that seeks to reposition the natural world and botanical life within politically engaged artistic practices, while retaining an introspective dimension. The two artists explore the multifaceted nature of plant agency, which, despite its deep roots, stands at the threshold of humanity’s confrontation with mortality, spirituality, and environmental and social crises. This approach brings both conceptual and aesthetic depth to the work. Hichem will reside in Stockholm and work on site for at least three weeks, ensuring direct engagement with the space and development of the artistic experience.
