About the exhibition
Entitled Reflecting Memory, the exhibition comprises a series of new sculptures, installations conceived specifically for the gallery spaces and a documentary video work, through which the artist explores the political, aesthetic and architectural meanings of the notion of repair. Fundamental to Attia’s poetics is the concept of repair. This does not involve the pursuit of an ideal of perfection or of the re-creation of an original state, and is not only physical but also moral. The fulcrum of the show is Reflecting Memory, a documentary video about the phantom limb syndrome, featuring a series of interviews with specialists such as surgeons, neurologists and psychoanalysts.
