Hicham Berrada's videos, installations and objects often make the phenomena of nature as their own, or they form processes from natural scientific experiments. Berrada imitates, in the spaces he designs, conditions of nature and then moves them from their original context into the exhibition space. The conceptual art strategy of context displacement often resembles the scientific experimental setup. His exhibits are neither a complete reinterpretation like the Ready-Made, nor do they create an accurate reconstruction of natural conditions, such as an experiment in a laboratory would require. Berrada operates between the two and relies on an aesthetic and poetic potential of the experiment, which is entirely free and unexpected.
