Artist Zineb Sedira represents France for the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Her cinematographic installation, built around the film Dreams have no titles, engages viewers in French, Algerian, and Italian filmmaking of the 1960s and 70s—embracing the still very relevant themes of racism, decolonisation, and family. Curated by Yasmina Reggad, Sam Bardaouil, and Till Fellrath, the artist merges personal experience with humanistic universality to blur the confines of fiction and reality.
“Zineb Sedira’s project for the French Pavilion has its fingers on the pulse of the time…in an ensemble of film, photography, sound, sculpture, and collage, an immersive environment emerges that is informed by a not-so-distant past, with a keen eye on deconstructing the contested politics of the present,” said the curators.
