"... The work of Rachid Data is directly connected to his eclectic environment, which is also his main source of influence. Data has always been directed by the idea that the frontier between his artistic pratice and his deep self being had to be like a burning atom, in the same time without any concrete relation with its context but also a potentialy reason of the destruction of it.
Data is always walking into this dialectic and that is why the experience of joy he gaves to us as spectators couldn't be only expressed with feelings that we use to express in any other situation.
Data is unique and meeting his work for the first time can lead you to a place from where you don't come back as the one you used to be before ..."
(Buck De Francis. October 20th)
