César Baldaccini's “Compression” Pendants

From the 1960s onward, the French sculptor compacted cars and then went on to use all kinds of materials including paper, fabrics and even the family jewels. Women would bring him their love tokens, crosses and chains so that they could be reduced to a mini parallelepiped sculpture. In each entanglement of gold pearls and diamonds can be found, along with a whole life’s story.

César [Baldaccini], Self-Portrait, ca 1960 -by Daniel Frasnay 

-----

Per liquidare i popoli si comincia con il privarli della memoria.

Si distruggono i loro libri, la loro cultura, la loro storia. E qualcun altro scrive loro altri libri, li fornisce di un'altra cultura, inventa per loro un'altra storia.

Dopo di che il popolo comincia lentamente

a dimenticare quello

che è stato.

E il mondo intorno a lui

lo dimentica ancora più

in fretta.

- Milan Kundera
