Mona Hatoum creates events, videos, sculptures and installations
that relate to the body, to language and to the condition of exile.
Her most famous work Corps Etranger, first shown at the Tate
Gallery when she was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1995, takes
the viewer on a journey through the inner passages of the artist's
body. Her audience is thrown into a dimension in which anything is
possible, as in The Light at the End, which lures viewers down a
long tunnel towards a light that will literally burn them. While
her video work is often visceral and emotive, her sculptures and
environments are ultra cool and minimal in their aesthetic. They
often mimic domestic or institutional furniture, yet their designs
and materials have a threatening edge. Exquisitely beautiful,
Hatoum's works are at the same time powerful evocations of
statelessness, anxiety, denial and otherness. Since Hatoum was
exiled to London, where she has lived and worked since the 1970s,
she has exhibited her work around the world, including the Centre
Pompidou in Paris and the Venice Biennale. This book surveys all
her work, ranging from early performances, through to her videos,
objects and full-scale environments. The distinguished art critic
Guy Brett, author of Through Our Own Eyes: Popular Art and Modern
History (1986), explores key themes around a sense of place, the
body and communication that emerge from Hatoum's range of work. The
artist describes a chronology of practice in conversation with
Michael Archer, writer, curator and co-founder of London's Audio
Arts sound archive. Director of the Kanaal Art Foundation Catherine
de Zegher makes a complex and provocative analysis of Recollection,
a work she commissioned for a sixteenth-century beguinage. Hatoum
has chosen a text by the influential Palestinian author Edward Said
as well as a statement from the noted Italian post-war sculptor and
performance artist Piero Manzoni. The book also includes Hatoum's
own notes, statements and interviews.
