Visite guidée de l’exposition Autoportrait, par Thomas Clerc | Journées du Patrimoine

‘Who am I?’ The question is as serious as it is unreasonable. But first of all, who is it that asks, ‘Who am I?’? A void, no doubt. Or perhaps an absence. A ghost, André Breton would say. The king, Louis Marin would say. The fool, Shakespeare would say. Amidst essays, daydreams, rules of the game, glosses and other crossings-out, it is indeed in the mirror of literature that the most innovative forms have been devised to answer this metaphysical enigma.
