Exhibition Catalogue Kader Attia. Descente au paradis, presented at MO.CO., Montpellier (22 june - 22 september 2024).
Kader Attia has forged a body of work that cannot be confined to a single medium and yet is characterized by its own distinctive visual vocabulary. Using drawing, photography, video, sculpture, and installation to suit each individual project, he investigates contemporary society, giving great prominence to poetry and inference, and by focusing on precarious settings, fears, traumas, uprootedness, and hopes for repair. Travel also plays an important role in his history and in his work, invoking marginalised cultures as well as individual destinies.
Alongside some of the artist's major works, the catalogue features a number of new artworks, including a brand-new immersive installation consisting of a film shot in northern Thailand and a rainstick installation created for MO.CO.
