Tariq Teguia creates photographic works and video images, the subject of this video essay that refers us to the permanent construction site that is the Algerian landscape. He refers to the never finished constructions, to the steel irons that line the Algerian roads. Produced in collaboration with a graphic designer and a musician, Ferrailles d'attente is a visual and sonic wander through the architectural chaos of contemporary Algeria.
