Simone Fattal

Simone Fattal’s exhibition metaphorS is accompanied by a modest publication featuring an interview conducted by Cecilia Alemani—curator of the 2022 Venice Biennale’s main exhibition, where Fattal’s work was prominently displayed. A collection of black-and-white photographs punctuates the text, documenting the organic rhythm of a collaborative session with the artist and inviting readers into an intimate glimpse of her creative process. The book also includes a loose insert reproducing a new collage by Fattal ( ), created expressly for the occasion.

Drawing inspiration from the physical and conceptual adjacency of her Secession exhibition to Gustav Klimt’s iconic Beethoven Frieze, Fattal has crafted a suite of collages and drawings reflecting on Ludwig van Beethoven and the enduring cultural resonance of his oeuvre.
