Born in Tunis in 1978 of a Tunisian father and a Swiss mother, Ismaïl Bahri shares his life and his work between Paris and Tunis. After studying at the Tunis Institute of Fine Arts, he left Tunisia for France where he got a Ph.D in Arts at the Sorbonne. Ismaïl Bahri's works take various forms, going from drawing to video, from photography to installations. Each of his works explores processes and materials of his own but have in common their minimalism and strong graphic content. His research deals with epiphenomena where minute mutations are happening. Also, we can detect notions such as transience, the imperceptible and the vulnerable. Ismaïl Bahri participated in several exhibitions and international festivals.
