Harilay Rabenjamina
Born in 1992, Harilay Rabenjamina lives and works in Paris.
His work takes the form of films, photographs, installations, performances and musical compositions. It traverses many different registers of image and narrative, whether televisual, filmic, media-based, advertising or decorative. Through a compositional style that sometimes resembles pastiche, his practice reinvests gestures and languages stemming from codified genres, whose legacy he explores, from homage to criticism. He also attempts to reveal its fictional dimension, as much in its emancipatory power as its ability to alienate.
His work has notably been presented at Frac Île-de-France, Palais de Tokyo, Maison Populaire, Lafayette Anticipations,
CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, Rencontres d’Arles, Ballet National de Marseille, Théâtre de l’Arsenic — Les Urbaines, Jameel Arts Centre, CACN—Centre d’art contemporain de Nîmes, Centrale Fies, Auto Italia, FRAC des Pays de la Loire, Fondation Louis Vuitton and Goswell Road.
