Too Far, too Close

This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Chantal Akerman – Too Far, Too Close,’ at MuHKA in Antwerp, from February 10 to June 10, 2012.
This retrospective monograph documents the career of director Chantal Akerman (born 1950), who made her breakthrough in 1975 with Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, a film about the everyday activities of a housewife. Her work since then has continued to investigate ideas of biography, gender, identity and memory.
