The gravity of image: art and memory in contemporaneity

Abstract

The contemporary experience of communication with its multiple images invites us immediately to rethink the problem of archive in its relations to memory and the photography of a certain artistic creation. Survivals of the image are offered as follows: the more the photographic goes through the arts, the more it becomes gesture. It leads us to think “the conditions of giving themselves to the gaze” that provides certain artistic production without forgetting to investigate the place of the body.
