Trampoline is pleased to support the solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma at Power Plant in Toronto, titled Solastalgia : Archaeologies of Loss.
Envisioned as a geological epic of our universe, Solastalgia : Archaeologies of Loss is a solo exhibition by French artist Abdelkader Benchamma that conjures enigmatic worlds and elemental forces at the precipice of transformation, evoking a yearning for worlds yet to be. Like an archaeologist, Benchamma unearths symbols–found in ancient mythologies and legends–that humanity has from its earliest moments inscribed onto the land, sky, and celestial bodies. In doing so, he creates an elusive topography of dreams that centres our spiritual ties with nature, reclaiming our interconnectedness with the world.
