Kumulowanie małych pamięci. Świat obrazów Christiana Boltanskiego w Galerii Foksal
Accumulating Little Memories: Christian Boltanski’s World of Images in the Foksal Gallery

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to look at the artistic practices of Christian Boltanski. Particular emphasis is placed on four of his exhibitions which were held at the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw. They show that the French artist not only uses the medium of photography in his art, but uses it in the specific approach as designated by André Bazin. This means that, for Boltanski, photography is a tool for the mummification of reality, which then becomes both a relic and a memory.
