There are no photographs, eyewitness accounts or recordings of poet Paul Celan's(1) meeting with philosopher Martin Heidegger(2) in the German village of Todtnauberg in Schwarzwald (Black Forest) in 1967. Only Celan's poem remains, along with the possibility of an endless narrative. Endless, because everything was in place to prevent such a meeting between the German philosopher who had joined the Nazi party in 1933 and the Jewish poet who had been imprisoned in a labor camp and orphaned by the war. And yet, on July 24, 1967, they met to give a poetry lecture in Freiburg, followed by a private invitation from Heidegger to his hut in Todtnauberg.
This encounter was the subject of the radio play La Rencontre, created by sound artist and photographer Stéphan Crasneanscki and the late philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy for public radio France Culture. Crasneanscki and Nancy's anthropophonic collaboration extends beyond Strasbourg and the Black Forest, places Stéphan Crasneanscki has visited regularly since childhood. He followed the paths to nowhere that Celan and Heidegger had first trodden, and traced a topography of their encounter; of estrangement and wandering, staring at the motionless silhouettes of trees. Nancy tirelessly responded to the absence of a voice with her own. A visual and aural correspondence emerged, mirrored and transcribed for the first time in this volume, with commentary by Pierre Joris and Patti Smith.
