A small group of letters, photos, poems, and printing proofs offers an intriguing glimpse of the powerful presence of Michèle Bernstein behind the scenes at crucial moments in the Situationist International. Bernstein, who often was obscured by the towering figure of Guy Debord, speaks through letters and poems. A version of Debord different from his standard historical depiction comes out in these letters: here he is open, unguarded, even insecure. Like the proofs of Internationale Situationniste bearing corrections in the hands of both Bernstein and Debord and a series of “love poems” written in a fit of jealousy, they shed light on the impact, both private and public, of Guy and Michèle’s complex relationship. This is part of our current, exhibition, Revisiting the Past-Imagining the Future, which is on view until July 9th! Check out this and more at Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library!
