The concept of self-destruction of the self, or destruction of individuals from within a community, is centered in Casablanca, March 25, 2016 (2022), a set of nine (three of which are shown) faience rectangle wall pieces lightly covered in black enamel. Mehdi-Georges Lahlou returned
once more to the archives for this work, which documents an event of doubled violence that took place in Morocco on March 25, 2016. Mehdi-Georges Lahlou centers our attention on an image of a male couple covered in blood after being assaulted at home. The image emerged on various media platforms globally. By highlighting its over-circulation while also potentially pointing to our desensitisation to seeing atrocity, the artist creates a pattern by reprinting the same image nine times and treating it with black varnish, resulting in a repeated image that is nonetheless different each time.
