TANGIER

Two photographers, one city. Mounir Fatmi and Guillaume de Sardes lived and photographed Tangier. Their different perspectives do not claim to capture the city - could that even be done? -, but rather to reproduce the sense of a city. The approach is subjective, sensitive to the passage of time, balancing documentary and fiction. Mounir Fatmi:Brimming with details, the photographs in this series capture the atmosphere of a constantly changing city where bodies literally blend into the background. In this sense, they are weighed down by a sociological weight, but they are just as much about intimate and memorial exploration. Guillaume de Sardes:By mixing image and text, Guillaume de Sardes also questions the relationship between photography and literature: "Images fix my memories, writing clarifies them. For me, photography is above all the means of retaining a moment and literature is to give it meaning. " In doing so, he places his work in line with that of another traveller who lingered in Tangier more than sixty years ago: the poet and photographer Allen Ginsberg.
