Hicham Benohoud (b. 1968, Marrakech) is a Moroccan visual artist whose innovative photography blends elements of painting and performance to explore identity politics and power relations. Frequently incorporating his own body as a subject, his practice is characterized by staged, constructed imagery, as seen in his acclaimed series La Salle de Classe (The Classroom) and Azemmour. A graduate of the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg, Benohoud's work transforms everyday objects into unsettling, thought-provoking compositions.
His work has been exhibited internationally at the Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, and Hayward Gallery, and features in prestigious collections such as Tate Modern and Fonds National d’Art Contemporain. He has received numerous accolades, including Prix Photo Service Prize in Arles and the Prix Visa pour la Création, awarded by Cultures France.
The Classroom explores control and discipline within post-colonial Moroccan identity through staged, uncanny classroom images created between 1994 and 2002.
