God is design is an animated video, a bit more than four minutes long (4'08''), created from black and white drawings of ornamental motifs capturing the symbols of the three large monotheist religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) together with symbols from the diagram of the human cell, wrapping themselves around each other to the rhythm of inebriating music, edging on to a sonant hallucination. The method employed by Adel Abdessemed for his film "God is design" is admittedly based on the notion of interlace design but developed through the practice of critical philosophy. The sound reel of the video, composed on commission by the artist Silvia Ocougne, is a poetic collision of musical phrases evoking the infinite possibilities of chance encounter.

Klan/ Sphere2
Pursuing issues of inclusion/exclusion and hierarchy/hegemony, referring to both the European-African interfaces through the Gibraltar Strait and to Guantanamo, the artist describes, Sphere 2 and Wall Drawing, sculptures or drawings, consisting of perfect, spotlighted, empty on the inside, circles of barbwire attached directly to the exhibition wall. Abdessemed claims this as “ drawing a sort of intimate sphere”, using his own body as measure and dimension. Similarly double-edged and contrapuntual, Klan, turns up with ten sculptural objects, shaped as airplane nosecones, in all white, but with added black dots, as “eyes” if you wish, and placed upturned, like hats, on the floor. Again Abdessemed enables radical and minimal form – abstract expressionism is a clear insider-art reference - to bear on and report on the contemporary political landscape.
