Life on the CAPS: Intro Animation is an introduction to Bennani’s next body of work, a series of live action chapters set in the future that will depict the inhabitants of CAPS, an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where refugees and immigrants ‘illegally’ traversing oceans and borders are held by the state; over the course of three generations, what started as an internment camp on the island of CAPS would develop into a bustling, geographically-isolated megalopolis. The first of these chapters will be shot in Morocco for the Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva. When international travel has been streamlined into teleportation, Life on the CAPS imagines the structures of displacement (physical and psychological) imposed upon immigrants intercepted by the United States. For Bennani, liminality of identification is often what defines diaspora– the CAPS is a physical manifestation of that liminality, as its residents exist between geographic endpoints, states of citizenship, ages, and genders.

Screen • MOCA MOCA presents SCREEN: Meriem Bennani, which features two videos by artist Meriem Bennani. The first work FLY will be on view June 7–21 and the second work Life on the CAPS: Intro Animation June 22–July 7.
