ARTIST STATEMENT + BIOGRAPHY SAID RAIS
Né en 1986 à Tiznit (Maroc), vit et travaille actuellement entre Tiznit et Paris. Born in 1986 in Tiznit (Morocco), currently lives and works between Tiznit and Paris. Through multidisciplinary practice involving video, sound, installation, performance, photography, and drawing, I aim to do a research about the simplification of the complex and paradoxical atmosphere of the world we live in now. I write unfinished scripts and show it through stripped perspectives around me. When I walk on the streets what I see becomes this conglomerate excerpts of my visual experience that I use to transform the mundane into works of art. I explore these subjects with a sincere quest for beauty, and at the same time, to enjoy their absurdity. The intersection between art, technology, and imagination is the fundamental theme in my creating processes. As an artist, I am trying to develop and explore the relationships between the real and virtual spaces. I create works that scrutinize relationships existing on and between the surfaces and infrastructure of global media. My works deal with issues of commitment. I creat “engaged” art that criticizes just as certain social issues form how I express my work.The ready-made is also a source of inspiration for my approach – a personal or transdisciplinary vision on issues related to social systems. Said Rais is an artist who graduated from the National Institute of Fine Arts in Tetouan. His conceptual works based on mixed media: video, sound design, but also interactive installation, performance, photography and drawing. His work explores the relationship between art and technology, and questions the societal and ecological issues. He is particularly interested in «the interval that articulates the flow of daily events in a world of permanent equilibrium.» He participated in various exhibitions and festivals national and international.
