Fascinated by the shape of the circle and the Descartes theorem on tangent circles, Mounir Fatmi created this body of work through an interpretation by Frederick Soddy of those circles in his poem, "The Kissing Precise". For Mounir Fatmi, the circular shape goes from geometry to the spiritual and function as an illusion of displacement in space and time. It is about turning around and get lost in a kinetic illusion.
