Thought-Provoking Art Installations by Mounir Fatmi

Moroccan artist Mounir Fatmi is challenging preconceptions of religion and politics with his thought-provoking and intriguing art installations.

One of his most impactful pieces is “Maximum Sensation”, which is comprised of skateboards adorned with colorful prayer rugs, in a powerful combination of Middle Eastern and Western cultures.

Another installation called “The Machinery” features menacing industrial saw blades inscribed with intricately drawn Islamic poems that deliver a peaceful message, in striking contrast with its overall aggressive look.

His work creates a space where viewers can reflect on the complexities of controversial topics in today’s society. By using various media such as video, sculpture, painting and installations, Fatmi engages his audience to contemplate their own beliefs and perceptions.
