By his continues struggle to find a fitting role as an artist emerged the essential aspects of his artistic work. Influenced by the idea of dead media and the collapse of industrial and consumerist civilization, he places the work of art between Archive and Archeology.

Fatmi explores various mediums and cautiously selects certain medium that he finds more communicative to the idea of the work. He under the prism of the Language, Architecture and Machine trinityquestions the obsolescence of materials such as antenna cables, old typewriters, photocopiers or VHS tapes. His artistic research constitutes the development of a thought on the history of technologies and their influences in popular culture.
