The first monograph of a contemporary artist, whose work offers a
look at the world from a different glance, refusing to be blinded
by the conventions. Mounir Fatmi was born in 1970 in Tangier,
Morocco and now lives and works between Paris and Tangier. He
constructs visual spaces and linguistic games. His work deals with
the desecration of religious object, deconstruction and the end of
dogmas and ideologies. He is particularly interested in the idea of
death of the subject of consumption. This can be applied to antenna
cables, copier machines, VHS tapes, and a dead language or a
political movement. His videos, installations, drawings, paintings
and sculptures bring to light our doubts, fears and desires. Mounir
Fatmi's work has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions and
collective shows at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, The
Brooklyn Museum, New York, Museum Kunst Palast, Dusseldorf, Mori
Art Museum in Tokyo, Museum on the Seam, Jerusalem, Moscow Museum
of Modern Art, Moscow, Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha and
the Hayward Gallery, London. Mounir Fatmi was awarded by several
prize such as the Cairo Biennial Prize in 2010, the Urioet prize,
Amsterdam and the Grand Prize Leopold Sedar Senghor of the 7th
Dakar Biennial in 2006.
