Halloubi works around themes such as memory, colonialism, alienation and migration. In addition, he regularly opts for a striking camera angle or technique. That is also the case in Walking and Talking (2018-2019), a film that is projected on a circular screen. In this video, which is set in a museum, a female artist of African origin – the narrator – addresses a certain Youssef. She confesses that – just like him – she feels excluded from Western museums despite their so-called aspirations to universality. Personal experiences are translated into a film that combines poetry and experimentation, making this a characteristic work in Halloubi’s practice.
