The works of the French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa, which include film, sculpture and installation, draw on his interest in what actually exists and how it is interpreted, a subject he explores without moral judgment, cultural cynicism or any kind of irony–though sometimes with humor. His practice revolves around indepth research into the relationships between moving images, sound, installation and sculpture, to create immersive environments of which the viewer’s gaze constitutes integral part. His installations include various materials and techniques, and they often expose technological components and digital devices they are made of, with explicit references to contemporary subcultures. His work is present in numerous prestigious collections, including those of the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; and Julia Stoschek Collection, Dusseldorf and Berlin.
