latifa echakch: a gap in the clouds

This exhibition explores how modern and contemporary artists use landscape as a way to navigate the relationship between our mental lives and the world around us. Neither distant views nor simple reflections of the mind, the works in the exhibition treat landscape as an active, imaginative space where inner and outer worlds meet, reflect, and reshape each other.

Spanning a wide range of media, geographies, and perspectives, including those shaped by war, displacement and ecological precarity, the exhibition brings together works that engage with different kinds of landscape: figurative and abstract; real, imagined, and remembered; intimate or vast; welcoming or alienating. Each piece offers a space where mental states — ranging from melancholy and anxiety to calmness and resilience — are explored, confronted, or transformed. Through images of shifting weather, changing seasons, and diverse terrain, the works show how inner and outer landscapes are always in flux. Here, landscape emerges as a vital space of emotional resonance, reflection, and creative possibility.
