For her solo exhibition at Lafayette Anticipations, Meriem Bennani transforms the Fondation into a vast resonant instrument with Sole Crushing, a multi-floor sound installation where more than two hundred flip-flops perform a composition blending orchestral harmony with the energy of collective noise.
As they strike surrounding surfaces, the flip-flops evoke the pulse of crowds — protests, stadiums, or dakka marrakchia gatherings — turning a simple, familiar sound into a meditation on community and individuality.
Reimagined from its 2024–25 presentation at Fondazione Prada, this version features a new soundtrack by Reda Senhaji (Cheb Runner) and a site-specific design attuned to Lafayette Anticipations’ architecture.
