This exhibition reveals to the public, and for the first time, the collection of the Franco-Russian philosopher and diplomat Alexandre Kojève. Organised by philosopher and art historian Boris Groys, this exhibition gathers of more than 1700 postcards collected by Alexandre Kojève and 400 photographs taken during his travels in the 1950s and 1960s, in Sri Lanka, China, India, Iran, Japan, Nepal, Russia and Western Europe. This collection – a “work” in its own right – now held at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Nina Ivanoff donation, 2004) demonstrates Kojève’s philosophical thinking, but also his conception and practice of politics.
