Jannis Kounellis

Alessandra Populin

Italy, 2005, 40'

Synopsis

Considered one of the founding fathers of Arte Povera, over the last 40 years Jannis Kounellis has developed his own aesthetics around the concepts of place, weight, verticality and memory giving meaning and measure to a humanism removed from myth. In Conversazioni d’Arte, the story of his work is told through counterpoint, assonances and vibrations, punctuated by Kounellis’ very own aphorisms, around the installation of his touching work created in the big national library in Sarajevo in June 2004, where Serbs burnt more than 2 million books in a tragic blaze during the ethnic war in Bosnia in 1992. Source (Italiandoc.it)
