Archetypal Figurations of Displacement and Fragility
Influenced by her experiences of war and migration, Simone Fattal has transcended the boundaries of both media and geography like few other artists of her generation. In her collages, she combines pieces from her private archive with historical events in the Arab world. Made up of individual parts and reassembled, these works suggest the fragility of an identity shaped by migration. Her more abstract ceramic sculptures reference ancient myths and archaeological finds. Fattal's first solo exhibition in Germany is accompanied by the artist's first comprehensive monograph, which combines essays by long-time companions with new scholarly contributions by international authors.
