The question of images is at the heart of the great darkness of our time, the 'discontent of our civilization.' We must know how to look into images to see that of which they are survivors. So that history, liberated from the pure past (that absolute, that abstraction), might help us to open the present of time.
A imagem, tal como a história, não ressuscita absolutamente nada. Mas ela "redime": ela salva um saber, ela recita apesar de tudo, apesar do pouco que pode, a memória dos tempos.
