According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark Dark Matter because it does not react to light. This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way hypothetical, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b. This enigmatic name, conjuring both the scientific and the esoteric, directly reflects the artistic research and graphic experimentation which Benchamma reveals in his latest work.
