Btihal Remli ( b. 1987, Germany out of Moroccan descent) is a visual storyteller focused on art and documentary photography. Based in Morocco, where her family is originally from, Btihal explores stories related to identity, religion and belief, gender and socio-cultural representation in her home country. She has also attempted to convey the juxtaposition between her German identity and Moroccan deeply rooted origins.
Btihal completed a Master Degree in Architecture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. Her master thesis for graduation was a photography book about the cultural spaces in Morocco within the context of Special Theory in order to depict how a structural space can emerge out of a ritual, and how the ritual can transform a public space into a private one.
As a result, social issues and questions arise. Her photography is a tool and method to understand and at the same time communicate her point in this debate. In fact, observations that evolve into a position.
Her work has been exhibited in Austria, Italy, Hungary, Germany, UAE, Switzerland, and Morocco.
