Casablanca Circles is a series of drawings done on photographs taken from an excerpt from the movie Casablanca of the final kiss Bogart and Bergman. The tangent circles of Descartes and Soddy are drawn on the pictures of the two main characters as they move closer to kiss. This infinity of circles raises the viewer's desire and at the same time, project our hope to see both actors united. Beyond fiction and maths, mounir fatmi wants to make us believe that something is still possible.
