Kader Attia, Zad Moultaka : Biennale de Venise 2017

KADER ATTIA

INTERNATIONAL PAVILION – NARRATIVE VIBRATIONS

Kader Attia presents his work for the International Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale. The artist chose the songs of the great voices of the Middle East to vibrate couscous seeds that form geometric figures according to a physical principle discovered in the eighteenth century. Kader Attia uses a very fine semolina to make visible in small terminals the vibrations of the voice of the singers, captured from the recordings that are projected.

The project designed by Zad Moultaka for the Lebanon Pavilion unites a visual architecture and sound composition. The artist combines his musical and visual researches in a synergy of forms, materials and sounds. Zad Moultaka erected in the former Military Arsenal of Venice a plastic and musical monument to Samas the god of sun and justice of the Babylonians.
