Confrontations, gatherings, incidents, looks, and frozen gestures all suggest a palpable tension. Invoking Delacroix as much as Jeff Wall, Bourouissa’s high drama in the outskirts of Paris attempts to give a place in French history to individuals usually neglected and overlooked in contemporary society. \u003c\/span\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePériphérique\u003c\/i\u003e, Bourouissa uses staging to critique stereotypical representations of these individuals, engaging with and parodying media representations of the \u003ci\u003ebanlieues\u003c\/i\u003e and their inhabitants.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePériphérique\u003c\/em\u003e was completed from 2005-2008, in the context of unprecedented riots and violence in the French \u003ci\u003ebanlieues\u003c\/i\u003e against social inequality.
