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 exhibition space 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.
Christian Boltanski's Chance was specially made for the Frence pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2011.
