Kader Attia

Born in 1970 in Dugny, Seine-Saint-Denis (France)

Kader Attia's work can be described as a symbolic exploration of his own childhood traumas and fears.
He embraces the plurality of his cultural affiliations (popular and "cultivated" culture, housing projects, and childhood culture).
Although each new series uses different materials and symbols, as well as a different scale, Attia's practice continually returns to a sustained interest in the poetic dimensions and complexities of contemporary life.
