This fusion of historical remnants and contemporary introspection echoes the psychological and physical issues involving origin and its nuances. Together fatmi and Rodriguez question concepts of belonging and otherness, shedding light on their own immigrant stories 

On the occasion of the 60th Venice Art Biennale, Piero Atchugarry Gallery is pleased to present Embodied Echoes: Stories of Foreign Soul, a duo show featuring the powerful and interconnected works of internationally acclaimed artists mounir fatmi (b.1970) and Dagoberto Rodríguez (b.1969). 

As artists living in exile, both have personally experienced the raw reality of the migrant condition. This perspective has nourished a sense of belonging to the global horde of emigrants, a community which constitutes the world’s fifth-largest population. But these experiences also deeply influence the artistic production of both artists: it nurtures in fatmi a dedication to dissecting otherness and identity as recurring themes, and in Rodriguez an obsessive interest in the geometry of refugee displacements.

Exhibiting artists: mounir fatmi (b.1973), Dagoberto Rodrìguez (b.1969).
