Lehmann Maupin presents “Shattering and Gathering our Traces,” a solo exhibition by French-Algerian artist Kader Attia, marking his first New York solo show in over five years. The exhibition features sculpture, installation, collage, and film, exploring themes of repair, identity, and collective memory.
Attia transforms everyday and historical objects—suitcases, mirrors, rope—into immersive installations that examine how identity and connection can be reconstructed. Resonance (2025), an interactive site-specific work, engages visitors in a tactile, auditory experience, while La Valise oubliée [The Forgotten Suitcase] (2024) uses archival materials to reflect on personal and collective histories. Across the exhibition, Attia invites viewers to consider memory, fragmentation, and the traces that shape our shared human experience.
