The purpose of this meeting is to think about and question the statutes of imagery in our contemporary world. This exercise also forces us to look at this historical time that we call ‘the now’ or ‘present’ through the density images provide.
Our starting point is a lost future, that temporal dimension that defined modern beings, and defines our era. It constitutes an invitation to take another look at images of the past, because overlooking this perspective trends towards questioning both the linear continuity of history as well as its progressive nature.
Debate around the phantasmal character that history takes on in contemporary life frames the contributions of two thinkers, Andrea Soto Calderon and Michael Marder, whose diverging lines of research in turn facilitate the overlapping lines of work that have been developed in the exhibition THAT TIME.
