mounir fatmi – The Process @Wilde Gallery

The exhibition « The Process » is like a book that we can start reading in the middle. It is a series of thoughts, phenomena, an elaborate sequence of operations to reach an outcome that is ultimately the extension of the artist as a Medium. Influenced by the idea of the death of the media and by the collapse of industrial and consumerist civilization, mounir fatmi developed a reflection on the status of the work of art which is between Archive and Archaeology. Through his approach, he also develops a thought on the history of technologies and their influences in popular culture. Since the beginning of his artistic research, he has been interested in the subject of the Medium by using materials such as old typewriters, antenna cables, photocopiers or VHS cassettes. In this way, he questions the limits of memory, language and communication, while reflecting on materials that are becoming obsolete and have uncertain futures.
