‘One Big Bang’ features more than 70 charcoal and pastel drawings from two recent series by Algerian-born artist Adel Abdessemed. Everyday objects, animals, and flowers are subtly charged with tension as the artist explores the intersections of beauty, fragility, and unrest. Abdessemed’s works, which range from sculptural installations and drawings to videos and performances, have a typical simplicity that echoes precise facts and familiar situations, but go beyond narrative commentary and militant criticism. With texts by Hélène Cixous and David Elliott, the book offers a thoughtful introduction to an artist’s visual language shaped by memory, myth, and political urgency.
