In her art Fathia Mohidin examines the gym as a specific place along with its aesthetics, architecture and politics. She is also interested in the demands for productivity and performance placed on us by capitalist society, and her work draws our attention to similarities between a gym and the workplace.

In 2017, the artist began exercising regularly in order to investigate new ways of thinking and working with the body. It evolved into a form of physical research that has become the foundation of her artistic practice.

Fathia Mohidin was the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation scholarship recipient of 2020.

Martin Carlsson Wall an SSE researcher and the director of The Center for Sports and Business at SSE.
