Summary:
The monograph is the first to cover the life and artistic career of Michele Zaza in systematic fashion.With an introductory essay on the historical and critical background of his work, this volume documents his production from the 1970s to the present day through a chronology replete with illustrations, unpublished materials, texts and quotations of the artist. The production ranges from the early sequences of photographs, with their symbolic references to the artist’s own body, the figures of his parents, and his family home, to the creation of large installations, characterized by the presence of photographic elements and sculptures with pure and totemic forms that hold a direct dialogue with their architectural setting. In a vision of existence in which everything is interconnected, he aspires in his work to a transcendence of the contingent, immersing the viewer in an environment that has been re-created through images but is at the same time real.

Summary:
In this in-depth analysis, Peter Muir argues that Gordon Matta-Clark’s ''Conical Intersect'' (1975) is emblematic of Henri Lefebvre’s understanding of art’s function in relation to urban space. By engaging with Lefebvre’s theory in conjunction with the perspectives of other writers, such as Michel de Certeau, Jacques Derrida, and George Bataille, the book elicits a story that presents the artwork’s significance, origins and legacies. ''Conical Intersect'' is a multi-media artwork, which involves the intersections of architecture, sculpture, film, and photography, as well as being a three-dimensional model that reflects aspects of urban, art, and architectural theory, along with a number of cultural and historiographic discourses which are still present and active. This book navigates these many complex narratives by using the central ’hole’ of ''Conical Intersect'' as its focal point.

Très impressionné par l'architecture de Le Corbusier, Anselm Kiefer a demeuré trois semaines au couvent de la Tourette en 1966 et a ainsi partagé la vie des frères. Il dira qu'il a perçu en ce lieu la « spiritualité du béton » - matériau dont on sait l'importance qu'il aura après dans son oeuvre. L'initiative a été prise d'inviter Anselm Kiefer à revenir 52 ans après à La Tourette. Pour l'artiste ce retour est comme un rendez-vous avec un lieu de spiritualité qui fut déterminant pour lui. Pour l'exposition, s'est dessiné un choix d'oeuvres d'une grande diversité : sculptures monumentales, vitrines, peintures, livres... Le livre présentera également un portfolio de photographies personnelles et inédites d'Anselm Kiefer prises à La Tourette, livrant son regard sur l'architecture de Le Corbusier.
