{"title":"Mounir Fatmi","description":"\u003cp\u003eMounir Fatmi (b. 1970, Tangier) works across installation, video, drawing, sculpture, and printed matter. His practice is built around the circulation of language, belief, ideology, and media — and the systems through which these forces are transmitted, distorted, and contested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFatmi’s \u003cem\u003eConnections\u003c\/em\u003e series, begun in the early 2000s, places religious texts, philosophical books, political writing, and fiction in direct physical contact through electrical cables and crocodile clips. The books are wired together into an unstable network: knowledge as live current, reading as potential circuit, the library as a site of tension rather than resolution. The Quran, the Bible, Bataille, Fanon, and others appear not as authorities but as charged objects, capable of conducting or short-circuiting meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis work has been exhibited widely across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and North America, and engages consistently with questions of censorship, translation, postcolonial identity, and the politics of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eItems here include exhibition posters, announcements, and printed ephemera from Fatmi’s exhibitions and projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mounir-fatmi-comprendra-bien-qui-comprendra-le-dernier-2004","title":"Mounir Fatmi — Comprendra bien qui comprendra le dernier, 2004","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble-sided exhibition poster \/ folded announcement.

Books in his practice are never neutral containers. They transmit knowledge, but they can also carry violence, censorship, contradiction and authority. In this poster, reading appears as a live circuit: energetic, unstable, and potentially dangerous. The object becomes more than exhibition information; it is a printed extension of the work’s own logic of connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53965699875154,"sku":"FATMI-PARVIS-POST-2004","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Fatmi_Mounir._Exhibition_poster_-_Comprendra_bien_qui_comprendra_le_dernier_._2004_6b3d0bb0-dff8-435a-8e94-f71ae35ef5d2.jpg?v=1783614264"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/mounir-fatmi.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
