Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani: "Toute la mémoire du monde – The world’s knowledge" — AMOA-ARTHOUSE
12:00pm @
Arthouse at the Jones Center
A reinterpretation of French director Alain Resnais’ similarly titled 1956 film. Resnais’ twenty three-minute documentary sweeps through the historic French Bibliothèque Nationale on Rue de Richelieu in Paris, exposing how the library functions as a storehouse of all the world’s knowledge. The jam-packed library seen in Resnais’ film is a stark contrast to the vacant library in Fischer and el Sani’s 2006 work—where that knowledge has now vanished. After a new Bibliothèque Nationale was opened in 1996, the Rue de Richelieu building was emptied of most of its collections, creating the ultimate setting for Fischer and el Sani to examine ideas of knowledge and memory.
Admission to this show is free and open to the general public.
