Présentation
  • Born in Lebanon to Palestinian parents, Mona Hatoum (b.1952) was exiled to London in the 1970s, where she studied art and was later nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize in 1995
  • Through performance, video, sculpture and installation, she immerses her audiences in emotional states – as they journey through all the orifices of the artist's body or watch her 'drowning' in mud in a glass box
  • Often exquisitely beautiful, Hatoum's works are nonetheless powerful evocations of statelessness, denial and otherness



revues de presse

'This valuable retrospective demonstrates the sense of alienation her work intends to create, and reinforces her artistic statements with essays from cultural commentators, including brilliant fellow-Palestinian Edward Saïd.' (Big Issue)

'Uncomfortable, compelling and often unexpectedly beautiful.' (World of Interiors)

'The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art. These books will revolutionize the way contemporary art is presented and written about.' (Artforum)

'The combination of intelligent analysis, personal insight, useful facts and plentiful pictures is a superb format invaluable for specialists but also interesting for casual readers, it makes these books a must for the library of anyone who cares about contemporary art.' (Time Out)

'A unique series of informative monographs on individual artists.' (The Sunday Times)

'Gives the reader the impression of a personal encounter with the artists. Apart from the writing which is lucid and illuminating, it is undoubtedly the wealth of lavish illustrations which makes looking at these books a satisfying entertainment.' (The Art Book)
