“I don’t need roots. The only thing I need is a memory.”

Exhibiting for the first time at Piero Atchugarry Gallery, newly represented artist, mounir fatmi (b. 1970), presents his first solo-exhibition in Miami, Whispered Stories of Forgotten Wires. Focusing on issues such as identity, multiculturalism, methods of communication, and the ambiguity of linguistic codes, mounir fatmi projects his own cultural realm onto shared emotional universes that find fundamental narrative consistency in the evolutionary concept of memory. Without dialogue, without communication, memory would not spread, and when it does not spread, memory loses its strength. For fatmi, the power of language, investigated as a sort of participatory experience, becomes an anthropological matter, reflecting cultural stratification.
