1445 in Paris

Hassan Hajjaj evolves between several artistic universes: photography, fashion, music, cinema and design, while presenting a critical and uninhibited point of view on consumer society. 193 Gallery presents a selection of works based on musical rhythm, flow and interaction, invoking a plurality of series. '1445' is the current year in the Hijri calendar (Muslim calendar). "1445 Paris" thus presents a selection situated in the time and space of Paris Photo 2023, underlining that standards can differ from one person to another. The exhibition compels a sharing and an empathetic understanding conveyed by universality.

Hajjaj's works are in important museums collections like: Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA, US), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (US), Institut des cultures islamiques de Paris (France).

In 2019, the artist had a major retrospective at Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris. In 2023, his work has been exhibited at Brooklyn Museum (US), Tate Modern (UK), at Saint Louis Art Museum (US) and National Portrait Gallery (UK).

Hassan Hajjaj was born in 1961 in Larache, Morocco. He lives and works between Marrakech and London.
