”For me, the verses of the Koran and the prophet's advice and sentences written in circular Arabic calligraphy work not only as an aesthetic form but also like a computer code loaded with information and knowledge. That's why I had the idea of integrating it into a video installation that talks about modern times which will perhaps allow us to understand these messages. For me, it is very interesting to open religious books and use ancient texts in a contemporary context and I think this can give more visibility and push the new generation to be interested in all these ancient texts. As a large part of my work deals with the subject of technology and the archive.” (Mounir Fatmi )
