'Animitas' is one of Christian Boltanski’s most impressive large scale outdoor installations. The bells are consciously placed to reproduce the map of the stars on the night the artist was born, 6 September 1944.
Boltanski’s commemoration of his own life is joined by a dedication to remembering the lives of others – 'Animitas' was intended to be an auditory counterpart to the Chilean tradition of 'animitas' memorial shrines.
