Fondation Giacometti -  Lydie Salvayre reads "Marcher jusqu'au soir"

See you on Thursday, September 10 at 6:30 pm at the Giacometti Institute.
SOLD OUT

Lydie Salvayre seized the invitation to spend a night at the Picasso Museum in front of Giacometti's Walking Man to question the artistic milieu and its institutions. Turning to her childhood as a poor, well-bred child and addressing without masking her connection to a dreaded and fearsome father, she tries to understand how her relationship to culture and its power to intimidate was formed, while praising Giacometti, his radicality, his claimed failures and his infinite modesty in his book Marcher jusqu'au soir
For this reading, the writer is seated at the heart of the exhibition, rediscovering Giacometti's Walking Man. The reading will be followed by a book signing.
