mounir fatmi's 'All that I Lost' is now on view at Es Baluard Museu in Palma as part of 'Normopathies: Works from the Es Baluard Museu Collection'.
The group exhibition, curated by Carles Guerra, brings together artworks spanning from the post-war period to the first two decades of the 21st century, reflecting on writing as a technique in the exercise of power and its normative will.
Studio Fatmi, about 'All that I Lost': "The linguistic upsetting observed here signals the loss of what connects, of what creates connections: connection between the individual and his or her personal history, his or her language – with all its expressive and communicative possibilities. Crossing borders and going into exile provokes the irreversible disappearance of part of one’s cultural heritage. It creates a wound comparable to a physical and symbolic amputation."
