Reserve 1990

"Reserve" (1990) by Christian Boltanski is an installation artwork featuring an overwhelming number of used clothing items hanging from the ceiling, creating an immersive environment that evokes a sense of memory and the passage of time. The garments are arranged in a seemingly chaotic fashion, yet they collectively form a powerful visual statement about human existence and the ephemerality of life. The work is a testament to Boltanski's fascination with the themes of absence, loss, and the remnants of the past.
