Par-delà l'horizon

Par-delà l'horizon brings together work by Ibrahim Ballo, Mouna Saboni and Hendrik Beikirch at the Espace d'art Montresso*, one of three exhibition spaces of the Fondation Montresso near Marrakech. The group exhibition runs from 31 October 2026 to 27 February 2027, with a vernissage on 31 October from 11am to 5pm. The three artists work in traditional weaving, in photography combined with writing, and in painted black and white portraits.

The foundation's text for the show starts from the idea that our time longs for the infinite. It asks visitors to see the horizon as a passage, not as a limit. Each artist takes up the horizon in turn, through its breath, its tremors and its shifts, and remakes it without pinning it down. The text speaks of many voices and of parallels that clash, and it puts what is felt ahead of what is meant.

Mouna Saboni, born in Rennes in 1987, grew up with French and Moroccan nationality. She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles in 2012. Since 2018 she has worked her own writing into her photographs, engraving words into the paper or painting them on in acrylic. Her long-term projects on identity, memory and territory have taken her to the Palestinian territories, Morocco, Brazil and Jordan. She showed IMAGOS with Barbara Wildenboer at the foundation in 2024.

Ibrahim Ballo, born in 1986, lives in Bamako. He comes from the Sikasso region of Mali and from a family of weavers, and he uses traditional weaving as his visual language. Hendrik Beikirch, born in 1974 and based in Koblenz, paints large black and white portraits on canvas, on paper and on the façades of buildings. Both artists have held exhibitions at the foundation, and all three have work in its collection. Visits are by appointment, with a cultural mediator.
