Paris: s.p. (Boltanski), 2014
30 x 21cm, 1pp inkjet output - the certificate (nr 764064263) to Paul Robertson to allow online access to films made by Christian Boltanski. A short lived project of films made by the artist which were accessed online only by those holding the appropriate certificate.

32 x 22 x 5cm, two part heavy cardboard box with printed label content of:
a 17 x 24cm book which contains ten 13 x 18cm, full colour lenticular images tipped onto each page such that one can see two different images when the page is angled towards or away from the viewer.

Deliuxe artist's book based on images found in the Wehrmacht magazine "Signal" that Boltanski bought at flea markets in Paris. Previously issued as a signed and numbered print, Boltanski here matches up images such that a war related photograph has a corresponding "normal" life image (often pretty girls enjoying themselves).
This is one of only 170 numbered and signed copies (with 20 HC copies also retained by the artist and 10 artist's proofs). VG+.
