mounir fatmi (1970, Tanger), vit et travaille entre l’Espagne, la France et le Maroc.

mounir fatmi uses a wide variety of media—installations, videos, sound pieces, photographs, sculptures, drawings, and collages. His work explores deconstruction as a metaphor for the current and future world, addressing themes such as exile, displacement, identity, memory, religious and political issues, and the relationship between art, architecture, and space. 

mounir fatmi studied at the Beaux-Arts de Casablanca, the Accademia Libera delle Belle Arti in Rome, and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam. His first solo exhibition took place in 1999 and his work gained international recognition in the 2000s. 

Since then, he has exhibited in major museums, biennales (Venice, Bamako, Dakar, Cairo...), and international events. In 2024, his work was featured at the Fondation Francès, at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and at the Misk Art Institute in Riyadh. 

His art is part of significant collections, including the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, the Mathaf (Arab Museum of Modern Art) in Doha, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the MOCA in Los Angeles. 

Pour ColAAb, mounir fatmi  a envisagé d’autres variations sur cette question des réseaux en proposant des rideaux. Le rideau est lié au théâtre et à un des grands thèmes de l’histoire de l’art, celui de la fenêtre, mais aussi à l’essence de son travail : le rapport entre l’écriture et le pouvoir, la forme et l’information.
