Kissing circles, 2012

“Kissing Circles,” proposes an encounter between classic Hollywood films: “Modern Times” by Charlie Chaplin and “Casablanca,” by Curtiz.  Mounir Fatmi has been working for several years with this universal shape, which is explored through a wide range of fields, including visual art- from Duchamp and his rotoreliefs, to another modernist artist, Sonia Delaunay.  The circle is also found in religious symbolism, with one strong example being the pilgrims who walk around the Ka'ba, in Mecca, the most sacred structure in Islamic architecture.  More concerned with philosophy than mathematics, the artist is inspired by Descartes geometric theorem, which establishes a relationship between “kissing” or mutually tangent circles.”
