An explorer of contemporary signs and mythologies, Roland Barthes (1915−1980) was one of the most influential thinkers of the 1960s and 1970s. Through the theater of language, he probed the collective imagination of the modern era. Empire of Signs, Discourse of a Lover: Fragments, Camera Lucida — each of these books was an event, an exercise in elegance and precision, inviting us to decipher the world to better understand the future. Intertwined with archival documents, this portrait delves into his work to reconstruct his singular presence.
