Mounir Fatmi’s sculptures often make use of obsolete technologies- co-axial antenna cables, copier machines, and VHS tapes.
Intersections 05 is a bas-relief made of co-axial antenna cables. The cables focus on the intersection points between the curves and straight lines. No shape is finished: they continue beyond the space of the table. For Fatmi, an intersection can be both a poetic encounter but also as an accident or confrontation between two things, an idea that reoccurs in all of his works.
Fatmi is fascinated by the tangential circles of Descartes, a geometrical theorem through which one can construct a fourth circle tangential to three given, mutually tangential circles, and “Kissing Precise” by British radio-chemist Frederick Soddy, which restates this is poetic form.
