Hicham Gardaf works across photography and moving image, often engaging with ideas of time, place and transformation. He is drawn to sites that carry social or spatial tension, such as landscapes shaped by displacement, urbanisation or quiet forms of resistance. Through slow, observational processes, he explores how environments reflect broader political and temporal conditions. Gardaf approaches these mediums not only as tools for documentation but as spaces for speculation, perception and re-interpretation. His practice is concerned with what images hold and what they fail to reveal, how they shape memory, suggest presence or absence, and shift meaning over time.

Recent screenings and exhibitions include Fire Station in Doha, Frac MÉCA in Bordeaux, MACAAL in Marrakech, Fondazione MAST in Bologna, the 74th Berlinale in Berlin and Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.

Hicham Gardaf was born in 1989 in Tangier and lives and works in London.
