Photographer Hassan Hajjaj's exhibition My Rock Stars is currently on display at the Cité de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris. The exhibition features 40 portraits of diverse figures, including Billie Eilish, Madonna, Rachid Taha, Lee Scratch Perry, Cardi B, Alicia Keys, Keziah Jones, Ba Bohot, Amadou and Mariam, and members of the Wu-Tang Clan. The exhibition space blends elements of a traditional Marrakech riad with the eclectic vibe of London's Camden. The installation uses stacks of beverage boxes as partitions and furniture, a tribute to scenographer Georgiana Savuta-Idier and Hajjaj's long history of repurposing everyday items into art. Hassan Hajjaj was born in 1961 in Larache, a small Moroccan port near Tangier, and moved to Islington at the age of thirteen. He left home at sixteen and did not complete formal schooling. Growing up in England during the era of Margaret Thatcher, he was influenced by reggae, dub, and hip-hop. He organized sound system parties in basements in Kentish Town, opened shops in Camden and Covent Garden, designed his own clothing, and later began photography as a self-taught artist. Hajjaj's work is known for its playful use of collage and remixing. His friend, Algerian singer Rachid Taha, nicknamed him "Andy Wahloo," combining a reference to Andy Warhol with the Moroccan Arabic phrase "andi walou," meaning "I have nothing." Hajjaj often frames his portraits with cans, such as tea, corned beef, and tomato concentrate, echoing Andy Warhol's iconic Campbell's Soup Cans. At the museum, visitors can see mannequins in shimmering costumes, motorbikes from Marrakech, and babouches—traditional Moroccan slippers—with logos. The exhibition includes a section dedicated to gnawa rhythms, a trance music rooted in the history of slavery, still celebrated in Morocco, especially during the gnawa festival in Essaouira. A soundtrack by Acid Arab accompanies the exhibition, created in collaboration with the artist over a year, resulting in 45 minutes of original music available on cassette. The members of Acid Arab describe it as a sonic portrait of Hajjaj, blending London basses, voices of Rachid Taha, and gnawa songs. The exhibition extends beyond the main rooms, incorporating elements into the permanent route through the museum, where they disrupt the display of musical instruments. A free game booklet is available at the entrance, designed for children aged six and older, guiding them through objects to find and offering creative ideas to implement at home. The exhibition is open from September 22, 2026, to April 25, 2027. Additional events include an Acid Arab concert on March 10, 2027, preceded by a parade of ESMOD students inspired by Hajjaj. An exhibition catalog is available from Éd. Textuel, priced at 39 €.
