Rayane Mcirdi

Born in 1993, Rayane Mcirdi is a French artist, videographer and filmmaker. He graduated from the Beaux-Arts d’Angers and the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2019. His work has been shown in a number of collective exhibitions, including at DADA (Marrakech), the Magasins Généraux (Pantin), the Pernod Ricard Foundation (Paris), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Jameel Arts Centre (Dubai) and the Sharjah Biennial (United Arab Emirates). He presented his first solo exhibition in 2021 at the Edouard-Manet gallery (Gennevilliers), followed by a second at Galerie Anne Barrault (Paris) in 2022. Early 2023, the Centre Pompidou organized an evening screening dedicated to his films. Rayane Mcirdi’s video work combines documentary and fiction elements, often featuring family members or friends in familiar settings. His films capture intimate events rooted in everyday life, transforming them into works of art, public narratives, and collective memory. Through his videos, he builds an archive of stories that are often overlooked, creating an alternative narrative based on subjective experience. He was a resident of the 1^st promotion of Artagon Pantin (2022-2023) and the Ateliers Médicis (Clichy – Montfermeil) in 2023, and he is the 2023 recipient of the Ateliers Médicis and Rubis Mécénat Young Creation Grant. Rayane Mcirdi is represented by Galerie Anne Barrault (Paris).
