Mounir Fatmi after Fra Angelico

Mounir Fatmi’s The Angel´s Black Leg, a tryptic of light boxes is based upon a painting by Fra Angelico. It depicts two surgeons performing a transplant operation in which a black leg is being transplanted onto a white patient. For Fatmi, this motif illustrates an attempt to overcome ethnic barriers. However, it is not revealed whether scientific interest prompted this motif or indeed how the experiment turns out.
