Artist's gallery
Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Cergy, Zoulika Bouadbellah, of Algerian origin, uses all mediums: sculptures, videos, photographs, installations... In her work, both conceptual and playful, sensual and political, she mixes references to Western and Eastern society. Already internationally renowned, she has exhibited in Paris, Dubai, Miami, Berlin and Cape Town. She explains her approach, which questions the status of the image: "The dominant, truncated representations appear definitive and absolute. Clichés are a limit to plenitude and prevent us from understanding the world with serenity and disinterestedness... My artistic research consists in giving myself the task of representing a world to be redefined. "
