“Je crois qu’aujourd’hui je cherche à faire de belles images : mais quand je dis cela, ce n’est pas la vérité, mais seulement une part de vérité.”
Christian Boltanski

“Dans les cinq travaux rassemblés ici – Recherche et présentation de tout ce qui reste de mon enfance (1969), Tout ce que je sais d’une femme qui est morte et que je n’ai pas connue (1970), L’appartement de la rue Vaugirard (1973), Les Portraits photographiques de C. B. ( 1972), Les Histoires (1973) – Christian Boltanski s’interroge sur les relations possibles entre texte et image. (…) Tous ces exemples sont reliés par la même préoccupation : comment lit-on une image, qu’est-ce, pour une image, de se signifier ?”

Avec 41 photographies en noir et blanc.

Les Modèles sont suivis d’une très précieuse Bibliographie (1963-1978) de Christian Boltanski établie par Silke PAULL et Hervé WÜRZ (28 illustrations).

The pictures in Tausend Himmel (Thousand Skies or Thousand Heavens) are a small selection from a vast collection. At first glance they appear to be photographs of clouds, of the sky, and of helicopters. In fact, they are photographs of sounds – the sounds of helicopters. I took them to help me deal with a hearing condition called hyperacusis. After more than a year and two thousand photographs later, I had nearly stopped noticing why I started taking them. I guess, in this way, the exercise could be considered a complete success.

The book was published to co-incide with a presentation of Tausend Himmel, a multi-channel digital photo installation, as part of the exhibition Joachim Schmid. Selected Photoworks 1982–2007 at The Photographers’ Gallery.

Imagem

Escrito por um dos membros fundadores do movimento italiano Arte Povera, “Ler”, um trabalho sobre as propriedades visuais da palavra impressa, torna  físico o ato de ler uma palavra. Tomando a palavra única do título, o tamanho e a escala variaram na página até que uma progressão é estabelecida. Como resultado, o espectador se encontra “lendo” do mesmo modo que vê. A palavra, a tipografia, a proporção da área impressa da página, a relação entre o branco e o preto: Anselmo produz uma verdadeira taxonomia do livro.

Written by a founding member of the Italian movement, Arte Povera, “Lire,” a work about the visual properties of the printed word, makes physical the act of reading one word. Taking the simple word of the title, Anselmo varies its size and scale on the page until a progression is established. The result finds the viewer “reading” in the same manner he / she sees. The word, its lettering, the ratio of print to page, the relationship of white to black : Anselmo produces a veritable taxonomy of the book.
