Christian Marclay’s art across sound and media

Published alongside a major survey at the Centre Pompidou, this illustrated volume traces Christian Marclay’s work from performances in the 1970s to later projects including *Guitar Drag* and *All Together*. Its account spans photography, altered musical instruments, video, prints, paintings, objects and graphic scores, showing how the artist has worked across forms to explore sound through sampling, shuffling and montage. The book also brings together new essays by writers, art historians and a design specialist, a conversation between Marclay and curator Jean-Pierre Criqui, and an anthology of texts by international contributors. It offers both a broad view of Marclay’s practice and material for considering its connections between visual art and sound.
