The Encounter, Stéphan Crasneanscki⁣ ⁣Libraryman, 2022⁣ Book curation by Anthony Vaccarello⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In 1967, poet Paul Celan and philosopher Martin Heidegger met in Todtnauberg, Germany—an unlikely encounter between a Jewish Holocaust survivor and a thinker tied to the Nazi Party. Though no photographs or recordings of the meeting exist, Celan’s poem commemorates the event, inspiring The Encounter, a radio play by sound artist Stéphan Crasneanscki and philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy. Retracing their meeting’s steps, Crasneanscki explored the Black Forest, blending visual and sonic elements with Nancy’s reflections. This book captures their collaboration, featuring contributions from Pierre Joris, Patti Smith, and Nancy, creating a layered dialogue on memory, absence, and creative exchange.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Available at Saint Laurent Babylone.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 9 rue de Grenelle, Paris⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Message for more information. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#YSL #SaintLaurentBabylone #SLRD #SLEditions⁣⁣⁣⁣ @ysl⁣ @anthonyvaccarello
