The catalogue's title translates to "He who understands last will understand best," and was published following the solo exhibition by Mounir Fatmi at the Contemporary Art Centre Le Parvis.
"With this exhibition, mounir fatmi warns us: “he who understands last will understand best”. The flood of information dilutes information and puts the real out of reach. Too much information, like a lack of it, is a drain on our freedom. So all we can do is hope to be the one who lives the longest to have a chance of really knowing. But he qualifies this statement by quoting Daniel Sibony: ‘What protects us from the media is their mediocrity. Mounir Fatmi's work is built on paradox, always to be read between the lines, and offering multiple readings." quote by Odile Biec, June 2004. Translated internally.
