Book excerpt: "This book is a journey through the defining moments and choices in the life and career of Christian Boltanski, which led the artist to reflect upon the outcome of some of the main historical events of the twentieth century and on the need to reconsider appropriate methods of representation. History, histories and the statute of the image are the fulcrums of the conversation he proposes. This conversation focuses in particular on the following fundamental themes: the difference between collective memory, recollection and oblivion; the relation between the individual and the crowd; the entity of absence intended as proof of a destroyed presence, but also as a device for the reactivation of memory; the incidence of an isolated gaze, that of the observer, upon whose primacy the history of western art has built its foundations."--Back cover.
