Cube

Safa Rahmen & Nadia Kaabi-Linke

Tunis, TN
2025

Cube (2025) is part of Featuring…, a series of collaborations, performances, and installations that stems from a profound belief that every human is inherently creative.

In 2024 Nadia Kaabi-Linke travelled to Tunis  at the invitation of the exhibition space La Boîte, not simply as a visitor, but as a local participant. The project redefines the roles within the art field, shifting the dynamic between viewers and artists. In her opinion, one of the distinction between artists and non-artists lies in memory: artists preserve the creativity they discovered in childhood, while others may forget, persuaded by the illusion that they lack talent. Featuring… is not a traditional artist’s journey, but a radically conceptual work about authorship, identity, and creativity.

In this project, the employee Safa Rahmen became the author, while I served as her instrument, bringing their dream projects to life, like a brush in the hands of a painter.

The text of the Safa Rahmen performance was translated into Braille with the help of the Ibsar association for persons with visual impairment.
