創傷記憶與歷史的再現：波東斯基與猶太大屠殺

Abstract

The heavy and sorrowful style of the works of Christian Boltanski derived from the artist's perfound awareness of death, which originated from his traumatic memory of the Holocaust. Boltanski's attitude toward this historical tragedy as well as the way how he delt with it is the main concern of this article. In the article, Boltanski's special traumatic memory is stated in the first place so as to explore and to discuss the historic environment of his creations. The article also explores how Boltanski penetrated his traumatic memory in different degrees, how he used a large number of images of death to represent the Holocaust, and the interaction between his personal memories and the collective history shown in the images. In the end, the article discusses the meaning and the spiritual value of such traumatic memory.
