“Every person deserves his own museum,” said French artist Christian Boltanski, who has spent many years exploring issues of memory and oblivion. He has had a great influence on contemporary artists who are also looking for ways to understand and represent the tension between “little memory” and “big memory” (to use Boltanski’s expression). In her book, Tatyana Mironova shows that this search leads artists to work with a document, which can be almost any object: a diary, a memorable souvenir, a letter, or a photograph found by chance. According to the author, the combination of such materials and artistic means of expression creates a special space in which the status of the document changes, and as a result, our perception of history and memory expands. Tatyana Mironova is a contemporary art researcher, curator, and lecturer at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
