Lives and works in Paris, France
Mounir Fatmi constructs visual spaces and linguistic games that aim to free
the viewer from preconceptions of politics and religion, and allows them to
contemplate these and other subjects in new ways. His videos,
installations, drawings, paintings and sculptures bring to light our doubts, fears and
desires. They directly address the current events of our world, and serve
to both clarify the origins and symptoms of global issues, as well as speak to
those whose lives are affected by specific events.
Recent exhibitions include Fuck Architects: Chapter III, Frac Alsace; Paradise Now!, Tate Modern, London; The Third Guangzhou Triennial; Traces du Sacre, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Flow, The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York.
