Amine Oulmakki is a Moroccan photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist born on January 28, 1986, in Rabat, where he continues to live and work. His first encounter with photography came in childhood, experimenting in the darkroom his father had built in their family bathroom — but it was in 2006 that his distinctive visual language truly crystallized, when he photographed his great-grandmother as she was losing her sight to illness. A graduate of the Superior Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual (ISCA), Oulmakki moves fluidly between photography and film, with his short film Un Jour la Vie (2012) winning both the Audience Award at Rabat’s Short Film Festival and the Jury Prize at the Festival des Rives de la Méditerranée in Paris. His bodies of work — including L’Œuvre au Noir, Intérieur/Nuit, and I Put on the Fabric of Life — reflect his preoccupation with time, the body, and the fleeting nature of the moment. His work has been exhibited internationally across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States, and is held in the public collections of the Moroccan Ministry of Culture and the National Foundation of Museums of Morocco.
