Mounir Fatmi, Moroccan
Across the moon
B&W video, HD, stereo, 11’33’’
Mounir Fatmi, Moroccan, b. 1970, examines human vulnerability. He constructs
visual environments (comprising such objects as saw blades, stereo speakers,
construction hard hats, and flags) and plays with language in a way that
questions preconceptions of politics and religion and unearths injustices
buried by history. In his 2009 work The Machinery, 30 aggressive-looking
industrial saw blades are inscribed with elaborately drawn Islamic poems
relaying a peaceful message. Using current events as content for projects,
Fatmi investigates the origins of contemporary issues and crises. More on Mounir Fatmi
