Second monograph dedicated to the French artist (*1965).
Developed around narrative forms and with an improbable “Gesamt-cosmology,” Gilles Barbier's work borrows its structures and themes from numerous cultural spheres. The book is an invitation to follow the artist’s journey through a selection of works, sculptures, drawings, and installations.
The artist discusses his work with Bernard Cometti, Jean-Yves Jouannais, Jean de Loisy, and Eric Mangion.
