"From 13 May to 30 July 2021, Officine dell'Immagine in Milan will be hosting the second solo show of mounir fatmi (Tangier, Morocco, 1970), one of the most prestigious voices of contemporary art. Curated by Silvia Cirelli, the exhibition brings together a selection of the most significant works of this great interpreter, paying tribute to his long and consolidated career.
Always a witness to the complex socio-cultural fabric of contemporary life, fatmi stands out thanks to his stylistic approach capable of relating to highly topical issues such as identity, multiculturalism, the ambiguities of language and the importance of communication as a social thermometer of human developments.
Using performative and participatory experiences, the artist brings the narrative back to the mechanisms of communication understood as cultural stratification, translating the precariousness of a historical moment marked by a sense of vulnerability and collective uprooting.
The exhibition offers the opportunity for a wide-ranging insight into the poetics of mounir fatmi, highlighting his great lexical ability, exploring stylistic languages ranging from installation to sculpture, from drawing to photography."
