Sirine Fattouh was born in 1980, artist and researcher, she lives between Paris, Avignon and Beirut. She studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris Cergy (ENSAPC) and at the University of Paris 1 in Plastic Arts and Art Sciences. Through the use of different mediums including video, installation, drawing and sculpture, Fattouh explores her urban, social and political environment. 

She is interested in history and questions her past, present and future in their relationship to memory and its flaws. Drawing inspiration from this, she explores the complex relationship she has with her country of origin and the consequences of conflicts and wars on people’s daily lives. Fattouh scrutinizes her urban environment by imposing on herself filmic protocols where space is in perpetual movement as is the turbulent history of her country. Her work also addresses issues of gender and sexual identity and takes on various forms, from drawing to installation to sculpture.
