NEW GHOSTS STORIES deals therefore with the ghostly life of the images, which make up our present as well as our historical and artistic memory. Arno Gisinger exhibits among others Atlas, suite, (2011-2014), a photographic essay, a both sensory and conceptual montage, a sequence of “ghosts from an exhibition,” continually moving on the picture rails of the Palais de Tokyo. Georges Didi-Huberman pays homage to the work of Aby Warburg whose great atlas of images – entitled Mnemosyne, The Greek name of the goddess of memory and the mother of the Muses – brought together a thousand figurative examples in which the entire history of images was arranged in such a way as to let us perceive the most fundamental problems of western culture. The examples chosen follow the path that goes from the classical examples dear to Warburg right up to modern and contemporary cinema: Eisenstein with Pasolini, Glauber Rocha with Theo Angelopoulos, Paradjanov with Zhao Liang, Jean-Luc Godard with Harum Farocki… The installation also includes ethnological images and documents drawn from political history.
