Presented in English for the first time here, this interview brings us Levinass understanding of "obliteration" as an uncanny, disruptive, and even "unavailable" concept. Discussing the work of the French sculptor Sacha Sosno, Levinas parses the complex relationship between ethics and aesthetics, examining how they play out in artistic operations and practices. In doing so, he turns away from the "ease and lighthearted casualness of the beautiful" to shed light 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, and which ultimately give them a profound uniqueness of presence. This evocative interview uncovers a hidden thread of aesthetic thinking in Levinass work and introduces a new way of looking at artistic practices in general. Author Biography Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) was a French philosopher of Lithuanian Jewish ancestry who is known for his work related to Jewish philosophy, existentialism, ethics, phenomenology, and ontology.
