Simone Fattal (b. 1942) is an artist, sculptor, and editor from Beirut, currently based in Paris. Fattal’s oeuvre—which spans painting, sculpture, film, collage, and books— is known for exploring the impact of displacement as well as the politics of archeology and excavation. In 2013, she released a movie, “Autoportrait”, which has been shown worldwide in many film festivals. The retrospective “Works and Days” at the MoMA PS1 of New York in 2019, gathering almost 200 artworks over 50 years, highlighted the richness of her work.
