Fayçel, sculptor. 2007
From the photo series "Hostages"
Fakhri El Ghezal received his degree from Tunis’s Institute for Fine Arts in 2004. He was trained in engraving and photography and was selected for Bamako’s Rencontres photographiques in 2007, where he presented a photographic project entitled, The Abdel Basset Patchwork.
The series Otages (Hostages) was made in 2007. The theoretical basis of this work is media manipulation and the media’s lies about the image of that which led the United States to invade Iraq in 2003. With his work, the artist tells us that we are all the "hostages" of this global system that manipulates us.
