Hardcover, 448 pages, ENG, 265 x 215 x 40 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9788434309227. Jannis Kounellis has always cherished a fond memory - some would even call it a veneration - of ''those Greek mothers who, rather than bringing up their children to stay by their sides, prepared them to leave home.'' But of course these adventures come to an end sooner or later with the long-awaited return to Ithaca. Often when Kounellis is asked about the idea of the voyage as an aesthetic reference throughout his work, he replies categorically - perhaps because he is well aware that this abstraction was a leitmotif used to exhaustion during the irreverent and dilettantish eighties as a justification for all kinds of frivolity - that ''every journey is in some way an initiation: it is an idea of expansive, amorous, collective consciousness''. 2320 g.
