''我工作的基點是關與脆弱性和消亡的思想 我的作品錶現童年 不是因為我對其感興趣

而是因為童年是我身上最早死去的 我們是一群死去的孩童'' — Christian Boltanski

Born in Paris in 1944, Christian Boltanski is undoubtedly one of the most interesting French artists in the panorama of contemporary art, and has been a leading figure in the international art scene for over 20 years. He began his artistic career at a very young age with his large canvas paintings, but in 1968 he abandoned painting for a less traditional and more conceptual means of expression which included mixed media and found objects. He has made short films, true and fictional dossiers of his life; he has archived moments of his existence in cookie-tin boxes and has collected photographic portraits. Since the mid-80s, his work has been pervaded by an awareness of the tragic events of the Second World War. Boltanski presents themes dearest to the artist: the memories collected in everyday objects, evoked relics of a collective past, redemption--through the artist's intervention--of nameless people without a history.
