Recherche et Présentation de tout ce qui Reste de mon Enfance

description

Artists' book featuring photographs of letters and Christian Boltanski's family: "Genuine photographs - a class photo with Christian Boltanski... - and others where his brother sits in for him, are combined with authentic relics such as a fragment of a sweater, and imitation ones: a lock of hair cut off 20 years later, building blocks, a reader and a shirt worn by a nephew in 1969." -- from Catalogue: Books, Printed Matter, Ephemera 1966-1991. The first edition was sent out as mail art. Text in French.
