Abdelkader Benchamma's exhibition at Le Centquatre-Paris goes beyond the limits of drawing to create huge mural drawings that modify and upset our relationship to space as well as our perceptions. Benchamma's drawings draw inspiration from visual scenarios that stem from reflections on space and its physical reality, its limits and its zones of contact with mental space. They operate with diversions, modulating objects to testify of possible malfunctions in our relationship with the other and with things. Shifting of reality, intrusion of the invisible, indeterminate matters undergoing transformation, minuscule catastrophes are all at the heart of Benchamma's work.
