Stand-by Office
The video introduces a group of people within an office building.
As an inventory of everyday office work gestures, we see among others a receptionist on the phone, a man in his office sorting files, a work meeting ... Gradually unusual new situations occur and change our relationship to this common space.

b. 1987 in Casablanca, Morocco, a Fine Arts graduate at Tetouan (Morocco), Angers (France) and Le Fresnoy (France).
Randa Maroufi belongs to this generation that grew up in an era dominated by images. She collects them with as much eagerness as suspicion, and ceaselessly questions their veracity. She prefers to put her ambiguous fictions in the service of reality, and the field of her experimentation encompasses the occupation of public space and gender issues, of which she highlights the founding mechanisms.
Her work goes trough photography, installation, performance, sound and film, has been presented at major contemporary art event (The Marrakech Biennale in 2014, The Arab World Institute in Paris, Brandts Museum in Odense, African Photography Meeting in Bamako,…) and film festivals such as (The Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film festival, New directors / New films at the MOMA in New York), etc.
She is currently living and working in Paris, France.
