Sami Ben Larbi is a Berlin-based artist whose installation work centers on classic and recent films, which he sees as a site of collective memory and a unifying element across cultures. Re-enacting scenes from movies that shape the language of cinema, he questions the boundary between film, time, and architecture. Ben Larbi recently participated in a residency at Homebase V (Berlin), and had solo exhibitions at Oberhafen kantine (Berlin) and Taet (Berlin).
