Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Gray cloth-covered boards with title stamped in gray and red on cover. Installation "Dernières Années" by Christian Boltanski. Foreword (in Finnish, Swedish and English) by Risto Niemenen. Essay (in Finnish, Swedish and English) by Michael Glasmeier. Interview with Boltanski (in Finnish, Swedish and English) by Jan Kaila.
