This presentation brings into play both personal experience and collective historical knowledge. An exhibit that uses two significant objects from my forebears, a limestone orb (an ornamental\/architectural feature from my grandparents\u2019 house) and an old toy (a plastic turtle from the 1960s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The metonymic character of objects and images of the past is often revealed when they are deployed in the field of art. This reuse is a particular repetition that uses the originals, and thus lends present emphasis to these past objects and images. This is a process that takes the component of the presence of the object as a means of summoning the viewer and circumscribes any approach based on content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A discourse on what memory is and how it is manifested must be a discourse that connects different times and encompasses the operations that constitute mnemonization. This very lecture allows us to extrapolate that memory is a museum in each individual, just as we are our past and the way we repeat its themes, using the difference. This repetition will be a unique immanence that combines historical experience and affectivity, where individual experience is the minimum element that constitutes collective memory; a minimum element of a personal nature, but which expresses itself in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
