NOBODY KNOWS, WHEN IT WAS MADE AND WHY

The film shows close-ups of specific images of Mnemosyne Atlas by the art historian Aby Warburg that stem from non-European regions and show relationships between human and cosmos, or human and animal. The selection is rather different from most common receptions of Warburg’s project that focus primarily on Europe and the Greek-Renaissance continuity as the original forms of pathos, or interpretive executions meanderings through the different images of a single panel. - excerpt Jiyoung Lee
