Intersections

"This new exhibition provides fatmi with an opportunity to further explore one of the key themes of his work, having to do with cultural mix – an encounter which, as can be observed in the news, seems recurrently marked by a certain level of violence. However, it does not operate in one direction only, and a number of occurrences of empathy and mixing cultures speak for themselves. It is thus rather a love-hate relationship, where antagonistic forces are at work and where paradoxes and ambiguities express themselves. mounir fatmi takes a particular interest in this area of turbulence, as one could call it, in an exhibition which in more ways than one stands at the crossroads between a variety of universes and identities."
