Through sculptural narratives, Kaïs Dhifi explores the threshold between myth and fiction, revealing the remnants of an imagined, forgotten, or yet-to-come Mediterranean territory.
He creates engraved, assembled, or constructed metallic structures and artifacts that evoke relics of a possible future. Influenced by archaeology, vernacular technology, and fantastical realism, he develops Metalia, a speculative universe where vision and memory intertwine.
Using matter as his language, each of his works serves as a vehicle toward a complex narrative. At the crossroads of traditions and a techno-global imagination, his work proposes a poetic counter-mythology of the contemporary world in mutation.
