Ya Rayah

2001 6min

Discreetly zany, Ya Rayah collects heterogeneous objects and images. Throughout this list we find smoking shoes, errant typographies, x-rays of feet... The assembly of these materials creates a playful journey, revealing the movement of writing in the process of being written. Where we find the poetic gesture dear to the imagination of ALIS, whose work is inspired by the methods of Oulipo. The approach of ALIS, a group founded by Dominique Soria and Pierre Fourny, is not standard. It focuses on the search for a new expression using different artistic disciplines. Usually their compositions are exhibited on stage or exhibited in art galleries. After La Complaint du Progrès, this film once again opens up, to the music of Dahmane el Harrachi, a rich field of investigation into their joyful and cleverly organized words.
