Since 2004 Sa\u00e2dane Afif has been asking writers and artists to write lyrics inspired by his artworks. This simple experiment rapidly turned into something with a greater importance. The texts not only questioned the notion of interpretation and commentary on a piece of art: they also became a fundamental material of Afif\u2019s artistic practice. After repeating this gesture over one hundred times, it became obvious that the text should be embodied. Sa\u00e2dane Afif thus directed public performances to give the texts life through a singing or talking voice.

In 2014 Afif produced two installations exploring the notion of identity through the question of being \u00ab here \u00bband \u00ab there \u00bb, being \u00ab from here \u00bb and \u00ab from there \u00bb. Two identical sculptures representing replicas of a lamppost from D\u00fcren\u2019s train station.
-including a signboard of the name of the city and miniature speakers that transmit live announcements from the station
-have been presented simultaneously in the Leopold-Hoesch Museum D\u00fcren and at the 8th Biennale of Berlin under the titles \u00ab Ici. \u00bb and \u00ab L\u00e0-bas. \u00bb. The identical lyrics written about these artworks were presented on the walls surrounding the sculptures, under the title \u00ab Ici. \u00bb in D\u00fcren and the title \u00ab L\u00e0-bas. \u00bb at the 8th Biennale of Berlin.

In 2017, the parallel exhibitions were reactivated in the Leopold-Hoesch Museum D\u00fcren and in La Panac\u00e9e, Montpellier, France. This time Afif gave the \u00ab Ici. \u00bb lyrics to a musician based in Germany, Anas Maghrebi and the \u00ab L\u00e0-bas. \u00bb lyrics to a musician based in France, Pierre Peres, to put them into songs.

Two final evenings staging a double concert by the musicians at the Black Sheep, Montpellier and a few weeks later at Volksb\u00fchne\u2019s Roter Salon, Berlin, finally unified the here (Ici.) and the there (L\u00e0-bas.) in a symbiotic moment. This vinyl embodies the reunion of this two performances.
