A Walk With Allan Sekula Through His Exhibition

But how can an art in the name of the specific be the lingua franca of globalized art?

Gertrud Koch: We would like to start by discussing the different narrative forms you have chosen for the titles of your series, like »story«, »fable« or »tale«: how would you differentiate between stories and fables, and what autobiographical narratives are involved here?
