How was it possible to open a hotel in Afghanistan? Who were the hotel guests? What happened on a typical day in the hotel? She also describes the close relationship Boetti had with this country, where he spent at least four weeks twice a year, and which assumed a significant role in his oeuvre.Annemarie Sauzeau is an art critic and writer and currently Director of the Archivio Alighiero Boetti in Rome.
