This major three-volume monograph offers the comprehensive entry into the international artist’s work. Adel Abdessemed has created over recent decades one of the most stimulating, controversial, and elaborate body of works to be seen today – making the present an open field for thought and life.

Bringing together over 1300 images of the artist’s works, commented by leading art historians Giovanni Careri (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris) and Angela Mengoni (IUAV, Venice), and the curator and critic Pier Luigi Tazzi.

Also including essays on the artistʼs work by some of the world’s most seminal thinkers, such as Hans Belting, Julia Kristeva, Philippe-Alain Michaud and Jacques Rancière, this ambitious publication proves an invaluable contribution to a contemporary art library.
