“Attempts to Reconstruct Objects that Once Belonged to Christian Boltanski between 1948 an 1954” is a small booklet that accompanied his first solo show at the Sonnabend Gallery in Paris in 1974. As with the work [Reconstitution of Gestures...], between 1970 and 1971 he tried to reconstruct, with plasticine, clothes, objects and like whic might have belonged to him in his childhood. This artist’s book comes across like the parody of scientific catalogue: listing of 45 reconstructions, with no commentary at all”. (Calle 2008)
