“Unstable Point,” a key exhibition of Jaou Photo 2024, explores the tension between appreciations, attitudes and perceptions, and the role of past traces in shaping identities. Curator Taous Dahmani selected twelve artists from the African continent and South-West Asia, celebrating diverse experiences, values, traditions and cultural, social, ethnic and religious heterogeneity.
The exhibition design moves from a macro site analysis to a micro approach for each artist, inspired by the vernacular architecture of the Tunis Medina. This geometry is reinterpreted through a
150-meter scaffolding structure forming ten pavilions that frame large perspectives and intimate views, while daylight shifts highlight different parts of the installation.
Set in a vibrant urban area, the exhibition coexists with local flows, offering unexpected encounters with photography. The project results from international teamwork between London, Tunis and Brussels, developed through continuous communication, shared drawings and a travelling model that unified all inputs.
