Online - Photographie - Moderne Photographie – Eines von 50 Exemplaren der Vorzugsausgabe "Boltanski. Time", welche im Buch signiert und nummeriert wurden (Publikation nicht beiliegend). - Hg. Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern. - Der französische Künstler Christian Boltanski begreift seine Arbeiten als eine Form der Spurensuche. Mit Objekten des Erinnerns rekonstruiert er Lebenswege und schafft Identitäten. Die daraus entstehenden fragmentarischen Biografien kreisen beständig um zentrale Themen wie Zeit, Vergänglichkeit, Tod, Abwesenheit und Verlust. Für die Arbeit "Portrait chinois de C.B." greift der Künstler auf Streifen historischer Fotografien unterschiedlicher Herkunft zurück. Die entstehenden Gesichter erscheinen uns vertraut und zugleich fremd. Fiktive Figuren, zusammengesetzt aus anonymen Fragmenten, deren Geschichte unausgesprochen bleibt.

Online - Photography - Modern Photography – Portrait chinois de C.B. Diptych. 2006. C-type print on light wove card. - Corners only minimally and barely noticeably bumped, occasional faint surface streaks in the motif. Overall very good. Splendid, rich prints with margins. - One of 50 copies of the special edition 'Boltanski. Time', signed and numbered in the book (publication not included). - Published by Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern. - French artist Christian Boltanski understands his work as a form of investigation. Using objects of memory, he reconstructs life stories and creates identities. The resulting fragmentary biographies constantly revolve around fundamental concepts such as time, transience, death, absence, and loss. For the work 'Portrait chinois de C.B.', the artist uses strips of historical photographs from various sources. The resulting faces appear familiar and yet strange to us. Fictional figures, composed of anonymous fragments, whose history remains untold.
