"At Tine wa Azzaytoune"
The installation “At Tine wa Azzaytoune” consists of a photo “At Tine” and two videos
“Azzaytoune L” and “Azzaytoune R”
“At Tine” is a photograph taken after several weeks of confinement. Intended to be removed
and planted in the middle of nature, the shrub finds itself undergoing the same treatment as
humans, stuck on the small apartment balcony in the heart of a city which itself is cut off from
the world and especially from the nature.
At a time when nature is spreading everywhere in the world sheltered from pollution, “At
Tine” finds himself stuck in a pot as if suffocated.
The basic video that was used to make the two videos, “Azzaytoune L” and “Azzaytoune R”,
was filmed a year before the pandemic, practically to the day. It was shot in the region of Fez.
“Azzaytoune L” represents the landscape on the left on which the olive trees pass in an
accelerated way for the first 5 seconds, then in slow motion.
“Azzaytoune R” represents the landscape on the right on which the olive trees pass in slow
motion, then there is an acceleration over the last 5 seconds
The spectator will also be able to feel this discomfort that we felt at the very beginning of the
deconfinement, once we were given our freedom but we still could not know if time is
running or if it was still frozen.
The music is the track “Inas Inas” by Rouicha, a well-known Berber singer that the artist’s
father often listened to when she was a child. There are just the notes played on the gambri
and the bendir (berber string instruments), no lyrics.
