Lili Mekdachi, an artist of the soul, weaves her dreams through dance, photography, and movement, like an ode to raw emotions. Her memories are treasures, captured during journeys with her father, Rami Mekdachi, across the vast American landscapes, where each sunset in the Mojave Desert becomes a poetic moment of contemplation.
For ten summers, alongside her family, Lili travels across the United States, from Boston to Miami, from Seattle to San Diego. It’s a journey of 90 weeks on the road, an intimate adventure where dance and photography blend in perfect harmony. For Lili, the moving body is a language, a visceral way to translate emotions and touch the essence of being.
A member of the artistic family of Lola James Harper, Lili captures the vintage aesthetic of vibrant landscapes of the American dream with her film camera. Her photos are a visual dance, a bridge between culture, nature, and travel, where each image is an invitation to a sensory journey, a sym- phony of universal emotions.
In this universe where clothing becomes costume, the wind and light sculpt the movement. Each landscape transforms into a stage, and the captured moment becomes a fusion of body, space, and garment. Lili, both photographer and dancer, turns each moment into a celebration of freedom, an ode to life in constant motion.
