Description

History and the status of the image have long been animating concerns within the artwork of French artist Christian Boltanski (born 1944). In Boltanski: Souls from Place to Place, the artist reflects at the outcomes of one of the most significant historical events of the 20 th century and the pressure these events have put on methods of representation. Boltanski’s art asks: what images are appropriate within the wake of the 20 th century’s crises? What’s the relationship between collective memory, recollection and oblivion? How can absence function to prompt memory and testify to loss?

This monograph explores the defining moments in Boltanski’s life and work. The artist takes stock of his career on this volume at the occasion of an immense commission from the city of Bologna, which has invited Boltanski to turn work and organize programming at a few venues around the city.
