Description
Kader Attia: Injuries are Here is a comprehensive overview of the artist's research over the past 15 years. Through various media including installation, video, photography, and collage, Attia addresses the global entanglement of culture, politics, and identity. Attia's artistic practice is informed by his experiences moving between France and Algeria as a child, and later in Venezuela and the Congo. His work tackles the complex relationship between Western thought and non-Western cultures, exploring themes such as architecture, the human body, history, culture, and religion. This monograph provides a detailed look at Attia's unique approach to these issues, offering insights into his artistic research and its significance.
