Hiba Kalache is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, drawing, painting, sculpture and interactive projects. Kalache draws on her daily life for her materials, process and content. She interrogates the separation between the private and public spheres, and more specifically, what she calls, “the banality of daily rituals”. Her recent interests include female desire and the abject in relation to truth, and the possibility of positing futurity in an era of perpetual presentism. In Our Dreams are a Second Life, Hiba Kalache presents a body of work that extends the themes and gestures of her recent practice. Produced in a period of protracted sociohistorical and existential crises, this work is subtly consonant with the times.
