\u201cThe trip. Habibi\u201d is one of the artist\u2019s most relevant works. It invites spectators to immerse themselves, in almost funfair fashion, in a hypothetical voyage of North African immigrants over European motorways. A beaten-up Mercedes, laden with packages and crammed with objects, reproduces the bumps in the road and the atmosphere of smells and sound inside.<\/div>\n
\n

Habibi, which means \u201cmy dear one\u201d, comes back, as a loan from the artists to its origins. It was on the context of NMAC Foundation that Albarrac\u00edn first thought about the conception of this project. The first outcome was a series of photographs produced in 2001 exposed today in on of the barracks at NMAC under the title of \u201cThe night 1002\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the province of Cadix, near the Strait of Gibraltar, one usually finds this type of cars, filled with luggage and objects that cross the territory from north to south on their way to the Africa during the holiday seasons. The car becomes a symbol of recognition and social position, a mark of success coming from Europe.<\/div>\n
\n

Immigrations, the ideas of the trip, cultural differences between two continents are some of the themes that come to mind with this project. \u201cThe trip. Habibi could not find a better to place to be exposed that at NMAC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This work has been presented in numerous international exhibitions including the show at MOMA \/PS1 curated by Harald Szemann \u201cThe Real royal trip\u201d in 2003 where NMAC\u2019s director was part of the curatorial team from PS1.<\/div>\n<\/div>
