Abstract (English)

"Reconstructions are not new, they play a central role in popular culture and art. Especially in contemporary art, however, reconstruction can offer a critical and reflective perspective, aimed more at comprehension than faithful reproduction. The book’s authors present several approaches to reconstruction, with variations on the theme reflecting the absence of consensus on the term used to designate the phenomenon – remake, reconstitution, reactivation. In different sections of the book, authors explore reconstruction first as a reflexive strategy, then as a performative response, and finally through examination of the specific case of the reconstruction offered by Galerie UQO in 2019 of the exhibition Jana Sterbak: States of Being/Corps à corps, presented at the National Gallery of Canada in 1991." -- Editor's website.
