Abstract

It will deepen the forces that images have to exhume what the folds of History hide. History—paraphrasing Benjamin— full of rubble and ruins that intermingle with the human being.These remains, like all kinds of objects, contain an enormous vital power, the result of thecondensation of lived time. When the images are linked, they have the power to unleashforces and to impact reality in the present until they are challenged: to what extent do theforces of the images influence the assembly of the work?
