Christian Boltanski - Faire Son Temps

Thirty-five years have passed since Christian Boltanski's first exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. Conceived by Boltanski himself as a wandering in the heart of his work, this new exhibition is less a retrospective than a sequence of moments marking the stages and metamorphoses of his remarks. Throughout this catalogue, the reader returns to the beginnings of the artist's life, discovering his first abortive love for cinema, his passion for theatre, and his frenetic practice of painting. His work, nourished by life, death, hardships and mourning, is approached from an unprecedented sociological angle, completing this discussion as an exclusive and sincere dive into the heart of the artist.
