For a few weeks, on the occasion of the French presidency of the European Union, the brand new temporary Grand Palais is being taken over by Anselm Kiefer, who is recreating his studio there. In this prestigious and monumental setting, he is unveiling a unique installation made up of works created during the year 2020, marked by the global pandemic, which corresponds to those of the poet Paul Celan (1920-1970).
Of Romanian origin, Celan was a victim of state anti-Semitism in the 1930s before definitively making Paris his city of choice after the Second World War. The lyrical breath that inhabits his poems, haunted by annihilation and memory, marked the young Kiefer: "A Nothing, / that is what we were, are / and will remain, blooming / the Rose of Nothingness, the / Rose of Nobody."
Conceived as an immersive dive into the studio and world of Anselm Kiefer, this artist's book recreates the long-standing dialogue he maintained with his poetry master, to which the philosopher Emanuele Coccia, the artist Edmund de Waal, the curator Ulrich Wilmes and the filmmaker Alexander Kluge bring a new and illuminating perspective to question the very idea of Europe, its past and its future.
