Parkett Vol. 91
Quote from Parkett
"Yto Barrada’s photographs are fragments of a language of orientation, paralysis, pain, fragile resistance, a declaration of love for a city that signifies home, politics, commodities, trade—and life. The artist’s pictures dawdle and dally as if they had all time in the world, only to spin a web of illusions and information."
Urs Stahel, Parkett No. 91, 2012
Additional Quote
“Documenting details of life in Morroco, Yto Barrada’s photographs and films select evocative scenic details for greater study or contemplation. In her 2001 photographic diptych Aquariums for Sale on a Rainy Day, Tangier, Barrada finds a wistful image. Inside the stacked aquariums water is both strictly contained and required for sustaining life, outside it drips by, transient.” -Artspace
