One of the most important French contemporary artists, Christian Boltanski came to prominence with major exhibitions such as that at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, in 1984 and the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, in 1990. For his magical installations Boltanski collects old photos, clothing and personal objects which are presented as archival artefacts tracing individual lives. His own autobiography is itself presented as fiction, particularly in his early " mischievous " performative work which invents a self-identity using found photos. Boltanski often uses everyday documents - passport photographs, school portraits and family albums - to memorialize ordinary people : the unknown children killed in the Holocaust, the citizens of a Swiss town or the employees of a Halifax carpet factory. The spaces he creates, often filled with flickering lights and shadows, lie somewhere between little theatres and churches, generating a sense of hushed wonder and a poignant evocation of loss. Boltanski's work has been presented in museums and public sites all over the world, including the Lyric Theatre, London, where the artist devised the stagesets and lighting for Schubert's Winter Reise in 1996.
Catalogo dell'esposizione di Bologna (Villa delle Rose, 16 maggio-7 settembre 1997).

Boltanski (Parigi 1944) ha realizzato una installazione ideata appositamente per Villa delle Rose, traendo ispirazione dalla storia di Bologna; l'opera fa da sfondo alle 20 che compongono la rassegna.

Using media as diverse as newspaper clippings, used clothes, amateur snapshots, and flickering shadows, Boltanski forges an original universe in which he is frequently the central protagonist. One of Boltanski's favorite themes is his own life story, both actual and reinvented, which he evokes through startling collections of photographs and objects. In other pieces, he assembles seemingly mundane elements to address some of the most fundamental and disturbing contradictions of twentieth century life. In a beautifully written and erudite essay, art historian Lynn Gumpert analyzes and provides a context for these haunting works that have the unsettling ability to be merry and morbid at the same time. With over 150 black-and-white and 50 colour illustrations that span the entire range of Boltanski's production, materials, and influences, this insightful monograph - the first to be published in English - is essential reading for collectors, art historians, students, and anyone interested in contemporary art. / Lynn Gumpert is an art historian, critic, and independent curator based in New York and Paris. She contributes frequently to art periodicals and is the author of numerous exhibition catalogues of contemporary art." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: I. The Impossible Life of Christian Boltanski; II.
