LA SALLE DE CLASSE (2000-2002)

Hicham Benohoud is an instructor in visual arts in Marrakech. For LA SALLE DE CLASSE he would ask one of his pupils to interrupt their work at a random moment and pose for him. For this they had to take an unorthodox pose and could make use of all the props that were present in the classroom. After posing the pupil could continue with work. The result is a series of remarkable photo portraits in which the pupils were forced to find a new demeanour in relation to their instructor. The surrealistic character of the portraits is strengthened by the fact that while the photos were being made, the rest of the class had to continue with their work.
