HOW TO HACK IMAGES: ARCHIVE AND MEMORY IN AN INVENTORY OF IMAGINED THINGS
Imagined inventory, Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin.
The present work starts from the inventory of objects and the gesture of the archive, as artistic practices and discursive practices of memory. Based on the writings of Aby Warburg and the philosophical fragments of Walter Benjamin, an attempt is made to understand the anthropological paradigm of images and the historical readability that they require. Various objects were collected over a period of two years, in an attempt to establish a place for what was taken as disposable or useless. Through photographic records, each of these images bears
witness only to the symptomatic character of choices and symbols in a cultural imaginary, as well as revealing something of an immemorial place of the past and a tragic prophecy of future things.
