Benslimane’s work mainly involves gathering everyday objects, detached from their conventional contexts that she reconfigures according to a pre-established logic, even if it remains somewhat oblique. Every element in her eerie compositions has been carefully picked and reintroduced into a new grammar or, perhaps more accurately, new programming. Nails, beads, tiles, and whatever cheap shiny stuff she finds in Bric-à-Brac and hardware shops are eligible as raw matter. What seems to interest her the most is precisely this clash of textures; this explains the seductive presence of her works.
