View of “Tetuan, Tetuán, تطوان” ((2021) by Adrian Schindler in the exhibition “Panorama 21.

Adrian Schindler’s installation centres on the first chapter of a collectively realised experimental film trilogy.

Shot in Barcelona, it traces and attempts to resignify, the contemporary spectres of Spain’s colonization of Morocco, while pointing out the ideological background, in which the figure of the Moor has been invested with racist attributes in popular culture.

The film draws attention to the different roles involved in its making, both in front of the camera and behind it, while reflecting on public monuments, works of art, and literature. It unfolds through readings, conversations and improvisations informed by the personal experiences of its collaborators, including the researchers Salma Amzian and Itzea Goikolea-Amiano, the actors Abdel Aziz El Mountassir and Ali el Aziz, and the singer Rita El Jebari. One sequence stages an encounter with the Orientalist myth-making of Marià Fortuny’s painting La batalla de Tetuan (1863–1865) at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, while a scene filmed in Plaça de Tetuan draws on the circular Arabic storytelling form known as the halqa.

Posters of the three chapters of “Tetuan, Tetuán, تطوان" designed by Sofia Fahli (Casablanca) and silk-screen printed at Taller 57 (Barcelona).
