      Blending Fluxus, Pop, and performance art, Marclay has reinvented the relationship between art and sound over four decades. This volume, published for a major survey at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, delves into his influential multimedia art. From early performances in the 1970s to iconic works like Guitar Drag (2000) and large-scale video installations such as All Together (2018), Marclay has explored various mediums—photography, modified instruments, videos, prints, paintings, objects, and graphic scores—through sampling, shuffling, and montage. Designed by Zak Group and richly illustrated, the publication includes essays by Polly Barton, Nathalie Quintane, Michel Gauthier, Marcella Lista, and Catherine de Smet. It features a conversation between Marclay and curator Jean-Pierre Criqui, an anthology of texts from diverse writers and art historians, and a comprehensive chronology by Annalisa Rimmaudo. Christian Marclay, born in 1955 in California and raised in Geneva, studied sculpture at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. He received the Golden Lion award at the 54th Venice Biennale for his video The Clock and has exhibited at notable institutions, including the Hirshhorn Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum in New York.
