Description

1766/5000 Selected by Jack Lang and Oxmo Puccino as part of the event celebrating the thirty years of existence of the Arab World Institute, this work proposes a textual intervention addressing the link between France and Algeria in the form of a discussion. Symbolically, the IMA is an ideal place to treat this subject. For that, I invited the writer Z.Tahar, living in Algeria, to write a dialogue together. By this intervention, we highlight certain nodes, certain subjects such as that of the place of religion, the life of a student in France or Algeria ... etc. How can we create debate through the link between a text and its space? How can we create a link through textual intervention? Taking into consideration the space and the original architecture of the place, I proposed to use three columns, three pillars. Entirely translated into Arabic, the text begins with the column of Paris (1), to join that of Oran (2), in the center (3). Only through words, questions, this text draws a bridge, between two people, between two cultures, between two countries. In the form of a performance, we have with Zoulikha written this dialogue during the exhibition, in front of the visitors. The act of writing becomes performative. Intrigued, the work quickly brings the visitors to take part in the performance, thus, the debate / discussion settles in a dispassionate way, in the middle of the exhibition, around these three pillars on the link between France and Algeria. The work is now part of the museum, and remains visible. Photo credits: Jim Winter, Helias Terki. 3D picture by Florian Dach. Thank you to the entire IMA team for coaching and coaching during the exhibition.
