This Is My Body

By Mounir Fatmi

Release : 2021-11-08

Genre : Art & Architecture, Books, Arts & Entertainment

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
"Come and discover This is my Body, an extraordinary project gathering 50 videos by multidisciplinary artist mounir fatmi. The fruit of a collaboration between the Analix Forever and Art Bärtschi & Cie galleries, this exhibit brings together for the first time nearly all of the artist’s videos. 20 years of creation – from 1997 to 2007.
When hearing the name mounir fatmi, one can’t help but think of his sculptures and installations addressing the issues of free expression and censorship. His works, both material and immaterial, all have in common striking concepts and powerful images. Video is his preferred medium. Contrary to a painting where the image remains motionless and unchanging, a screen always offers the possibility of being turned off, thus making the work disappear, of giving it life or not at any chosen moment. With video, he can claim that reality doesn’t exist, that it is just an illusion, an aesthetic trap that closes on the viewer but disappears when the film is over. One concept is particularly appealing to the artist and can be found in his choice of materials for his palpable works: antenna cables, VHS cassettes and various other objects becoming rare in today’s digital landscape."
