Abstract

We will understand the relationship between archive and image as propitiatory of an only encounter in which the potentiality of critically doing finds a preferential place.  Discerning the political in the image will bring us closer to artistic practices that will question the documents in order to generate new meanings, new ways of knowing and making things visible. In this sense, Benjamin’s categories of montage and dialectical image will be fundamental for this approach, since they break with the traditional concept of archive related to the closed, lineal and chronological order. Expecting to discern what exists under de expected homogenization of what is always near, of the given history, is a task that needs active participation from the researcher and that gives the artistic practice its epistemological, political and social character back.
