Ouled Allal is an area ravaged by war during the nineties in Algeria. A constellation of beings, voices, bodies, and buildings face the test of time and live the scars of a low war without fronts. Among the ruins, memory travels; images and sounds draw a poetic map and a psycho-geographical exploration of the place.
Challenging the superficiality and intelligibility of the image, Djamel Kerkar tries again to give a new complexity to the photography of an area marked by the suffering he has experienced.
