Summary :
Christian Boltanski is one of the greatest contemporary French artists, known the world over. The narrator, who once knew Boltanski, attempts to reassemble the images of a friend he hasn't seen in twenty years. This is the starting point for a kind of investigation in which documents of varying sources are thrown into the file. Recognized and accredited works are combined with other images. The common thread of each sequence is the cumulative effect of lives, beings, events, news items, objects, traces. If the presence of the artist can be found among them, it is only to designate the content of the world as the sole source of inspiration. THIS VIDEO IS PART OF THE "CNAP/DAP" COLLECTION ONLY AVAILABLE IN FRENCH TERRITORY.
