Meet the artist 🖐️
Saudi artist @aymanzedani explores the future of the Arabian Peninsula through the relationship between humans and nature, in immersive installations that weave together fact and fiction, spiritual ecology and science fiction.
His work has been shown at the Istanbul Biennial and the Sharjah Biennial (2025), the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah (2023) and Desert X AlUla (2022), and he received the inaugural Ithra Art Prize in 2018.
Born from his research during the AlUla Artists Residency Programme, « In the Bellies of the Rocks » is built around Daraj, a fictional script invented by the artist. It will be presented by the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, @artsalula and @horizonalula at the entrance of @aaaahhhparisinternationale from 20 October.

Rencontre avec l’artiste 🖐️
L’artiste saoudien @aymanzedani interroge l’avenir de la péninsule Arabique à travers le lien entre l’humain et la nature, dans des installations immersives qui entremêlent fait et fiction, écologie spirituelle et science-fiction.
Son travail a notamment été présenté à la Biennale d’Istanbul et à la Biennale de Sharjah (2025), à la Biennale des arts islamiques de Djeddah (2023) et à Desert X AlUla (2022), et il a été en 2018 le premier lauréat de l’Ithra Art Prize.
Né de ses recherches dans le cadre du programme de résidence d’artistes d’AlUla, « In the Bellies of the Rocks » s’articule autour de Daraj, une écriture fictive inventée par l’artiste. L’œuvre sera présentée par le Musée d’art contemporain d’AlUla, @artsalula et @horizonalula à l’entrée de @aaaahhhparisinternationale dès le 20 octobre.

21 Oct 2026
In « In the Bellies of the Rocks », artist Ayman @zedani turns to the landscapes of AlUla and north-western Arabia to imagine what remains unknowable about the past, and what might still lie ahead.
Drawing on archaeological fieldwork, archives, 3D surveys and speculative fiction, Zedani invents Daraj, a fictional writing system that emerges as the trace of a lost form of knowledge. Here, rocks, inscriptions and ancient structures are not silent remnants of history, but active repositories of memory, transformation and possible worlds.
Rather than reconstructing a lost past, Zedani works within the gaps between evidence and imagination. Science, mythology and science fiction converge in an unstable territory where the landscape itself becomes a storyteller, and where the boundary between artefact, fictional evidence and contemporary artwork begins to dissolve.
At Paris Internationale, a two-screen film unfolds alongside a new constellation of sculptures and spatial interventions, commissioned for the occasion. Together, they transform the entrance to the fair into an immersive threshold between deep time and imagined futures.
Ayman Zedani, In the Bellies of the Rocks
19–24 October 2026
Paris Internationale, 187–198 quai de Valmy, Paris 10th
Presented by Arts AlUla, the AlUla Contemporary Art Museum, AFALULA @horizonalula and @aaaahhhparisinternationale, as part of the AlUla Cultural Season in Paris.
Curated by Candida Pestana and Arnaud Morand.

For In the Bellies of the Rocks, Saudi artist Ayman Zedani approaches AlUla’s landscape as a living archive, bringing together fieldwork, 3D scans, archival images and imagined histories.
At its centre is Daraj, a fictional script whose name means “stairs”. Tombs and rocks become thresholds, connecting what has been preserved with what can still be imagined.
The work began during his AlUla Artists Residency and was first shown at Arduna, an exhibition offering a first glimpse of the future AlUla Contemporary Art Museum. Now it travels to Paris, where the two channel film is joined by new sculptures created for Paris Internationale.
Part of AlUla’s Cultural Season in Paris, 19 to 24 October.

These photographs from Naoshima now carry a different weight.
Yayoi Kusama transformed the most private territories of the mind into a universal language of infinity, repetition and self-obliteration. Her genius was not simply to create unforgettable images, but to alter how we understand space, perception and the self.
It is an honour that her work also forms part of our collection in AlUla. Her imagination, and all that she gave to the world, will remain infinite... 💛

Exhibition "Arduna" opens a new chapter in the dialogue between art, nature and territory.
Presented as part of the 5th edition of the AlUla Arts Festival, this major exhibition, co-curated by @cpestana, with associate curator Ftoon AlThaedi, from the @rcu_ksa, and @anna.hiddleston, with associate curator Noémie Fillon, from @centrepompidou, with the support of #AFALULA @horizonalula, under the leadership of @kh1co (Hamad AlHomiedan), brings together more than 80 diverse artworks from Saudi Arabia, the MENA region and beyond. From Picasso to Kandinsky, from Manal AlDowayan to Etel Adnan, the artists explore our evolving relationship with the land, landscapes and the living world.
Conceived as a journey through gardens, deserts, forests and constellations, "Arduna" offers a first glimpse into the curatorial vision of the forthcoming museum, rooted in AlUla’s history while engaging with today’s critical issues: the Anthropocene, climate, urbanisation and coexistence.
📍 On view in AlUla until April 15th, 2026.
