Abdelkader Benchamma presents a new composition for the upcoming group exhibition at Villa Empain, which examines the origins of the feeling of melancholia - manifested in both the East and the West since ancient history - which unremittingly reminds us of a lost origin, and instills in us a sense of mourning for a past world. This feeling of melancholy remains at the heart of the problems we are confronted with today because the world we face is an inevitable cause for concern, especially given the irreversible climate change.
