Zineb Sedira: Dreams Have No Titles

“Dreams Have No Titles” at the Whitechapel Gallery addresses a pivotal moment in the history of cultural, intellectual and avant-garde filmmaking during the 1960s and 70s – particularly across France, Italy and Algeria. The exhibition invites considerations of reality and artifice, the role of the artist as author and character, and the position of the visitor as viewer and participant.

Originally conceived for the French Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), Zineb Sedira’s multimedia installation transforms the gallery spaces into a series of carefully constructed film sets which reference specific films, as well as elements of the artist’s personal history.
