Mounir Fatmi's 25-Year Coaxial Cable Retrospective at Ceysson & Bénétière
Ceysson & Bénétière Gallery presents 'If You Don’t Know Me by Now', the first retrospective of mounir fatmi’s white coaxial cable sculptures, spanning 25 years. Since 1998, the artist has used coaxial cables as a symbol of information flow and technological obsolescence. The exhibition includes major works such as 'La Pieta', 'Roots', 'Kissing Circles', 'The Theorist', and the new series 'The Limits to Growth', which explores tensions between infinite expansion and material constraints. The geometric and calligraphic forms engage with the gallery's architecture, creating a dialogue between art and space. The show runs at Ceysson & Bénétière Gallery, with an image of 'Kissing Circles' (2010-2011) provided by Studio Fatmi.
