Over the last fifty years, Simone Fattal’s (Damascus, 1942; currently lives in Paris) multifaceted work has explored the impact of displacement as well as the episteme of archeology and mythology, drawing from a range of sources including war narratives, landscape painting, ancient history, and poetry. The artist imagery blends history with memory, grappling with the losses of time while revealing its repetitions. This book documents Fattal’s first solo show in Italy titled A breeze over the Mediterranean at the Fondazione ICA, Milan, in collaboration with Pompeii Commitment. Archaeological Matters.
