About the Book

A catalog for an exhibition of the latest chapter in Miriem Bennani's CAPS film project.

This first monographic book on the New York-based artist Meriem Bennani is built around her ongoing filmic project CAPS. Life on the CAPS is the latest chapter in the trilogy, set in a supernatural, dystopian future surrounding a fictional island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Layering live-action footage and computer-generated animation, Bennani adapts editing techniques that evoke documentary film, science fiction, phone footage, music videos, and reality TV. Her solo exhibition at the Renaissance Society marks the debut of this work considering what it is to live in a state of limbo.

The first of the book's two parts focuses on the making of the work in the exhibition and features aspects of Bennani's process, her inspirations, and research around the diverse worlds of island societies, science fiction, and vernacular music. This section will also feature essays by the writers Emily LaBarge and Elvia Wilk, along with a conversation with writer and curator Omar Berrada. The second part is rooted firmly in the world of CAPS and includes conversations with Bennani's cast of motley characters, as well as a piece of fan fiction by the writer Anand Balakrishnan.

About the Author: Meriem Bennani is an artist from Morocco who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Bennani's work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA PS1, the Guggenheim Museum, Art Dubai, the Foundation Louis Vuitton, Public Art Fund, the Kitchen, and CLEARING, among other venues. Negar Azimi is a writer and editor-in-chief of Bidoun. Tiffany Malakooti is an independent graphic designer and head of special projects at Bidoun.
