Entitled Algiers, Paris/London and Venice, the cities at the heart of the artist's work, they have been conceived in the spirit of militant magazines of the 1960s and 1970s. Featuring pieces by curators and art critics, directors, artists, emeritus professors and researchers and a range of content, analysis, background articles, film programmes, illustrations, playlists... and a poster by Zineb Sedira on the centre spread.

Together, the three issues will constitute the catalogue of the French Pavilion, available in French and English versions. Each issue is available to buy online through the NERO website or in the bookshops of the Presses du réel network.

The first issue Algiers. Forms of desire will be released to coincide with FIAC, on Saturday 23 October 2021. View the cover image and the first pages of the magazine below!
