Mnemosyne is an avant-garde object since it dares to reconstruct a historicist album of recollections about the “impact of antiquity”, replacing it with a wandering album of memories modelled on the unconscious, full of diverse images, imbued with anachronic and ancient elements and suffused with the blackness of a backdrop in which life plays the part of an empty space, a missing link, a gap in the memory. The original model of the Mnemosyne Atlas should thus be sought in the very structure of the objects appearing in it, which become analytically “disassembled” and “assembled anew”.
Polish translation of one chapter from Georges Didi-Huberman’s book La ressemblance informe. Le Gai Savoir visuel selon Georges Bataille, Paris: Macula, 1995.
