To Present the Past in the Present

PANEL (X):

2m x 1.5m POST SCRIPTUM:

The intent of this piece of work was to remove the notion of images in which the Bilderatlas: Mnemosyne was built upon. The intent of this piece of work is to remove content away from context. The intent of this piece of work is to be read in relation to the methods of how Aby Warburg presented. For those of you who are well-informed about Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas: Mnemosyne and the richness of art history it beholds, I invite you to detach yourself from the historical analysis of his work and to focus on the ‘now’. For those of you who are less informed about Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas: Mnemosyne and his methods of cataloguing and categorising contents of art history, I invite you to attach yourself to his demonstration of the ‘then’.
