For his third solo exhibition here, the French-Algerian artist has taken inspiration from Kometenbuch (The Comet Book), a 16th-century Flemish treatise depicting comets and fantastical apparitions; Benchamma suggests how astronomy and astrology, science and folklore, continue to overlap in shaping our perception of the cosmos via a new body of intricate ink drawings and landscapes . Meteorites, crying stones, and shooting stars drift across forests and horizons, hovering between recognition and mystery; there’s also a monumental mural paired with a projected animation that extends this vision into immersive territory, opening onto swirling, otherworldly sequences of light, texture, and form.
