This is the first monograph on the internationally acclaimed French Algerian artist Neil Beloufa (born 1985). Love, hatred, war, technology, social unrest, bodies and words in crisis: this is the material of which Beloufa's work is made. His films, sculptures and multimedia installations audaciously explore how art can address today's issues, challenging contemporary representations of social relationships, power games, and political and economic structures. An artist favouring collaborations over authorship, and responsive strategies over predetermined intentions, Beloufa has invented his own work methods, and a particular approach to the studio. The catalogue presents the artist's projects over the past 12 years, including recent experiments with online platforms and NFTs; it takes as its starting point Beloufa's solo show, Digital Mourning, at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca in Milan, and offers a non-conformist take on the genre of the monograph, thanks to Olivier Lebrun's playful and inventive book design.
