A hell of a noise greets vistors to the current exhibition Mounir Fatmi: Oriental Accident at the gallery Lombard Freid Projects in New York. Even at the opening reception of the exhibition the talk of the guests couldn't drown out the noise. The source of the violent sound is an ornate Persian rug on which speakers are placed that play recordings from the demonstration in the Maghreb during the Arab Spring revolution.

Mounir Fatmi was born in 1970 in Tangier, Morocco. He lives and works in Paris, France. Mounir Fatmi works in different media, including video, installation, drawing, painting and sculpture.
