In the exhibition “How Much is Enough ” the artist mounir fatmi tries to turn an economic question into a philosophical thought.
*What was your approach ? *
My starting point was an economical aspect I tackled from a philosophical point of view. I entitled the show “How Much is Enough”: how much time do we need to have a life project, how many gods do we need on earth to believe, and how many resources do we need to keep going? This question of “how much” links to the core question of energy, which is itself connected to the market, and evokes a very random image, that of a plate, a plate that will decide it all. If we don’t have enough energy, we can’t do anything. Our economy, our stock market, our politics… everything interconnects to put enough on our plate. Since 2015, I have been speaking of collapse, obsolescence, and the death of objects. Every time, people told me, and others who said the same things, that we were pulling the brakes, that we wanted to bring things to a halt. But the idea was never to bring things to a halt but to figure out how to keep going.
