Mounir Fatmi (born 1970 in Tangier, Morocco) is a Moroccan artist who lives and works in Paris. His multimedia practice encompasses video, installation, drawing, painting and sculpture. ==Work== Mounir Fatmi’s work deals with the historical matters, religious objects and their desecration, dismantling dogmas and ideologies and the relation of death with the subject of consumption. His installations and films have the specificity to be produced with archaic and outdated material, such as VHS tapes. Mounir Fatmi is largely influenced by September 11 attacks. He produced a series of installations named ''Save Manhattan''. These artworks show the Manhattan skyline including the destroyed World Trade Center towers. Save Manhattan 1 is made with books, Save Manhattan with videotapes and Save Manhattan 3 is a sound installation with speakers.〔 〕 The ultimate contribution to this project is a video where the skyline progressively dissolves itself in distorted liquefied reflection.〔 〕 Many of Mounir Fatmi’s works are seen as subversive,〔 〕 such as his Brainteaser for moderate Muslim, a series of rubix cubes painted in black with white stripes to imitate the Kaaba in Mecca. As a reaction to the Arab Spring, he exhibited ''The Lost Spring'', an installation composed of 2 brooms of 3 meters and the 22 flags of the Arab league. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mounir Fatmi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
