  • Descrição: This article discusses recent work by the Franco-Algerian artist, Kader Attia, in which the artist explores the (unevenly) intertwined modernities of France and Algeria. It demonstrates how, particularly in his treatment of the French banlieues, the artist highlights the continuities between colonial modernity and the reality of contemporary relations (political, economic and cultural) between the global North and South, France and Algeria. Secondly, with reference to Attia's work on the vernacular and modernist architectures of Algiers and the Algerian Sahara, it examines his critique of dominant (Western) historiographies of modernity and his attention to its occluded genealogies. Finally, it discusses how the practice of re-appropriation and the use of the installation format are identified by the artist as means of opening up a creative hermeneutic space in which to imagine and produce alternative histories and futures, thereby derailing the apparently inexorable march of Western modernity and its contemporary avatars.
