- More about On Obliteration - An Interview with Francoise Armengaud Concerning the Work of Sacha Sosno
In an interview with Françoise Armengaud in 1988, Emmanuel Levinass discusses his understanding of "obliteration" as an uncanny, disruptive, and "unavailable" concept. He explores the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, examining how they play out in artistic operations and practices. Levinass sheds light on the processes of material wear and tear and repair, revealing a hidden thread of aesthetic thinking in his work and offering a new way of looking at artistic practices.

One of the few statements we have from the philosopher who rose to prominence in a variety of fields through his ethics, which emphasizes the fine arts in particular, comes from his 1988 interview with Françoise Armengaud. This interview, which is presented here in English for the first time, provides us with Levinass interpretation of "obliteration" as an eerie, disruptive, and even "unavailable" concept. Levinas examines the intricate interplay between ethics and aesthetics as he discusses the work of French sculptor Sacha Sosno, exploring how they manifest in artistic operations and practices. In doing so, he moves away from the "ease and lighthearted casualness of the beautiful" to focus instead on the processes of material wear and tear and the traces of repair that go into the creation and maintenance of works of art, which ultimately give them a profound uniqueness of presence. This evocative interview reveals a hidden thread of aesthetic thinking in Levinass work and introduces a new way of looking at artistic practices in general.
