Through a pathway of some fifty works by Christian Boltanski, this vast presentation reveals the magnitude and ambition of an artist marked by his history and a half-century of questioning on the role and voice of the artist in our societies. Thirty-five years have passed since Christian Boltanski’s first exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. Designed by Boltanski himself as a vast journey into the heart of his work, this new exhibition is not so much a retrospective as a series of sequences marking the steps and transformations of his approach.
