" A copy of the Koran. A photograph of a Moroccan King. A calligraphic painting.
These are the only three cultural objects remembered by mounir fatmi from his childhood home in 1970s Tangier – all of which vividly captured his imagination, but he was forbidden to touch. Fragmented Memory marks a rare autobiographical approach for the Paris-based multimedia artist, in which Fatmi takes these coveted objects as a starting point ‘to show how the few elements of culture I had in my childhood home has shaped my artistic research, my aesthetic choices and my entire career’, he says.
Fatmi adds that ‘in this show, I draw a direct relationship to language, to memory, and to history, because, for me, these three elements depend on one another: without language there is no memory and with no memory there is no history.’ "
