Le spectateur de la vidéo est à la place de celui qui regarde le portait d`un proche s`éloigne dans la route. Le spectateur est mis dans la position de celui qui part et voit les choses disparaitre/apparaitre autour de lui. La vidéo Leave est une recherche de la simplicité d`un plan. La simplicité d`une sensation.

Born in 1982 in Tangier, Morocco, Hamza Halloubi works across a wide range of media, including video, photography, sculpture, and installation. Exploring the relationship between the individual and the faculty of knowledge, he aims at a representation of alternative ideas of identity and culture by disrupting the dogmas of what is defined and established in culture. He comprises quotes in order to discuss issues such as institution, exile, solitude, and melancholy. Instead of direct perspectives he is interested in gestures and attitudes that upset the established order. Halloubi attended LA CAMBRE Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de Bruxelles.
