Summary :
Created in 2002, Mounir Fatmi evokes a dark part of the Moroccan history in the video In the Face of Silence.
This film shows archival footage as well as the artist himself, who stands before the Brasserie Lipp in Paris, where the opponent Ben Barka was abducted Oct. 29, 1965, before disappearing forever. In 2014, Mounir Fatmi stood again in front of the Brasserie Lipp and added this revived filmed performance to the original film to show that nothing has really changed.
