Adel Abdessemed was born in 1971 in Constantine, Algeria. He left North Africa in the 1990s as a political migrant, and eventually his travels brought him to the P.S.1 International Studio Program, where he showed in Uniforms: Order and Disorder in 2001. Then September 11 came along. In its aftermath, Abdessemed found he couldn't make a home in the U.S. He was the subject of suspicion; it was "unlivable." He has since settled in Paris, but he hasn't left September 11 behind: his Fire Space includes a baggage cart full of burnt wood, and Habibi is a gigantic human skeleton, flying, Superman-style, arms outstretched--a cinematic, larger-than-life angel of the apocalypse. Beyond P.S.1, Abdessemed's work has been seen at the 2003 Venice Biennale and at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris. This is his first monograph.

Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 16,5 x 24 cm , 160 pages, 64 colour and b/w illustrations - À l'attaque. Adel Abdessemed's sculptures, videos and photographs form a statement that hits you like a straight punch: pictures in action, not stories in pictures. Or how to bring the power of the image round to a matter of feeling and elevate it to a critique of the world. In this book, the artist describes his personal and intellectual career to Elisabeth Lebovici, while Philippe-Alain Michaud identifies the philosophical and aesthetic dimension to an approach that involves the very opposite of producing symbols and images loaded with ideology.
