Altar to the Chases High School (Autel Chases), 1987
Wikipedia - "Christian Boltanski (born 1944) is French sculptor, photographer, painter and film maker. He is the brother of Luc Boltanski and the partner of Artist Annette Messager. ... In the 1970s, Boltanski started using mainly photography for expressing form, exploration of consciousness, and remembering. After 1976, he started treating photography as painting, making collages of sliced photographs of still nature and everyday life banality in order to reflect collective aesthetic condition of modern civilization in ordinary, stereotypical way. As a departure from his earlier medias, he started using readymade objects. His use of small, colorful figures made from cardboard, thread and cork, transposed photographically into large picture formats, helped him creating effective theatrical compositions. These works encouraged him to start creating kinetic installations."
