Book signing "A Life in Progress"
Hans Ulrich Obrist

Conversation with Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Bernard Comment of Éditions du Seuil for the book signing of "A Life in Progress".

Hans-Ulrich Obrist has recorded thousands of interviews with the best creators, artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, and philosophers. He is one of the most internationally renowned exhibition curators. Beginning in his teenage years, he began to travel across Europe, on night trains, to visit artist studios, where the essentials of art and its mysteries can sometimes be found. “I have always been inspired by the idea of being in the middle of things but in the center of nothing.”

Yet, who really knows Hans-Ulrich Obrist?

Curious and enthusiastic about everything, but very discreet, he has finally agreed to talk about himself. Between rituals, beliefs, convictions, and impulsive decisions, the public can begin to understand the consistency of his choices, and the desire to constantly renew himself.
