Drawings from the Hotel
17.5.-6.7.2025
Pori Art Museum, Poriginal

Karim Boumjimar’s exhibition “Drawings from the Hotel” consists of a series of drawings presented together with a set of colorfully glazed ceramic vases.

The drawings inspired by personal experiences, queer history, and theory, incorporate materials such as pigments, ink, and watercolour. These media reflect the fluidity of flesh and bodily substances, allowing the depicted bodies to emerge raw and unfiltered, forging connections with viewers while contemplating existence. Figures—female, male, and animal—appear simultaneously bound and vulnerable, locked in a chaotic dance of power and submission. The drawings in the exhibition capture the rituals and routines that fill the space between arrivals and departures—an exploration of fleeting, intimate encounters, solitary moments, and the temporary nature of existence.
