Dans l'intrigue esthétique complexe de mounir fatmi, rien n'est jamais laissé au hasard. Un miroir, une fente dans le bois, un scalpel caché derrière une jambe: autant d'éléments qui cachent la juxtaposition entre un objet, son utilisation et sa signification culturelle. En se concentrant sur les contradictions du langage, l'artiste explore les méthodes de la correspondance communicative, il les étudie en sachant comment ils reflètent l'évolution de la société. Ce sont les tentatives continuelles d'expression de l'homme, qui dictent l'alphabet sur lequel repose toute la contemporanéité culturelle, et c'est dans l'exaltation de leurs ambiguïtés et variables interprétatives que la valeur peut être lue.

In mounir fatmi's complex aesthetic plot, nothing is ever left to chance. A mirror, a slit in the wood, a scalpel hidden behind a leg: these are all elements that conceal the juxtaposition between an object, its use and its cultural significance. Concentrating on the contradictions of language, the artist explores the methods of communicative correspondence, investigating them with the awareness of how they reflect the evolution of society. It is man's continual attempts of expression, which dictate the alphabet that all of cultural contemporaneity is based on, and is in the exaltation of their ambiguities and interpretative variables that the value can be read.
