Béatrice Josse (F) & Peter Piller (D)

Which books really touch important figures in the worlds of art, science, design, music, theatre, dance, literature and architecture? And what is it that makes a work so special to them? Every month a philosopher, artist, choreographer, architect, etc. talks about his or her choice. This personal story invites you to discover new books or to rediscover a work you already know. Béatrice Josse (F), art historian. She was for ten years the director of FRAC Lorraine in Metz, where she imposed a distinct accent on immaterial art (performance, protocol and cinematographic film), mainly by women such as Chantal Akerman, Marguerite Duras, Dora Garcia, Teresa Margolles and Joëlle Tuerlinckx. In French. Peter Piller (D), photographer. He studied geography and Germanic languages. In his work he frees archive images from their original meanings, puts them into new series and combinations and thereby reveals astonishing connections. He has already published his archives in several books. In English.
