Síntoma y pérdida en dos obras de Yishai Jusidman.

Abstract

This article problematize two paintings of the artist Yishai Jusidman using the Georges Didi-Huberman`s concepts of symptom and loss. The pieces in question are titled Majdanek and Auschwitz, which were part of the Azul de Prusia exhibition, held at the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporaneo UNAM (2016-2017). The reflection is stablished through the analysis of both pictorial representations, regarding the non-visible as a critical possibility condition which is able to situate us in the interstice between the sensible and the intelligible. Furthermore the article aims to examinate the status of the gaze from the concept of memory, as a faculty of articulating heterogeneous times, as well as analize the concepts of veil-image and tear-image to differentiate between those that have been designed according to the needs of history and those that encourage us to think and produce other images.
