Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
History and the status of the image have long been animating concerns in the artwork of French artist Christian Boltanski (born 1944). In Boltanski: Souls from Place to Place , the artist reflects on the outcomes of some of the most significant historical events of the 20th century and the pressure these events have put on methods of representation. Boltanski's art asks: what images are appropriate in the wake of the 20th century's crises? What is 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 in this volume on the occasion of a major commission from the city of Bologna, which has invited Boltanski to show work and organize programming at several venues across the city.
"Published on the occassion of the Christian Boltanski retrospective Anime. Di luogo in luogo, organized at the MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna in connection with the special project by the same name dedicated to the artist by the city of Bologna" -- Title page verso.

A conversation with Christian Boltanski Villa Medici, 22 April 2017 / Danilo Eccher -- Absence, presence and phenomenology of memory in Christian Boltanski's work / Mattia Fumanti -- A light redemption of things / Giancarlo Gaeta -- Ghosts, phantasmagorias, agnitions / Federico Vercellone -- Business cards / Christophe Boltanski -- Pleine Nuit / Laurence Sigal -- Appendix.
"This volume travels through the most important moments and crossroads in the lifetime and career of Christian Boltanski, which have led him into reflecting upon the outcome of some historical events during the twentieth century and on the need to reconsider appropriate representation methods. History, histories and the statute of the image are the fulcrum of the conversation being proposed. In particular, this conversation deals with some fundamental themes: the difference between collective memory, recollection and oblivion; relations between the individual and the crowd; the entity of absence, intended as proof of a destroyed presence, but also as device for the reactivation of memory; the incidence of an isolated glance, that of the observer, upon whose primacy the history of western art has built its foundations." - Back cover.
