Christian Boltanski: Chance. French Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2011

http://www.vernissage.tv |
The French Pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition -- La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Jean-Hubert Martin, presents a new installation by French artist Christian Boltanski. The installation, titled "Chance", deals with the themes that are characteristic for Boltanski's work: chance, luck and misfortune.
In the main room Christian Boltanski installed a large scaffold with a oversize film strip that shows the faces of babies shortly after their birth. The film strip runs at high speed until it randomly stops and picks one of these babies, displayed on an lcd screen. In each of the two side rooms, a large digital clock counts up the world's population.
