Of one and a half million surviving photographs related to Nazi concentration camps, only four depict the actual process of mass killing perpetrated at the gas chambers. Images in Spite of All reveals that these rare photos of Auschwitz, taken clandestinely by one of the Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities there, were made as a potent act of resistance. Available today because they were smuggled out of the camp and into the hands of Polish resistance fighters, the photographs show a group of naked women being herded into the gas chambers and the cremation of...

Following two precious volumes of writings from the 1970s-90s Canadian magazine Parachute-- Museums, Art History, and Theory and Performance & Performativity--the essays collected in this third volume focus on photography, film, video and new media. These genres were discussed in some of the earliest volumes of Parachute. Photography received particular attention in the early 1980s, film and video later in that decade and through the beginning of the 1990s. Discussing what were then still relatively new and overlooked artistic fields, these texts are particularly...

For Georges Didi-Huberman, artist James Turrell is an inventor of impossible spaces and unthinkable sites, of aporias, of fables. Creator of some of the most fascinating works of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, Turrell uses as his medium the most elemental material of sight and art: light. One crucial aspect of his work is the fabulation of place and vision with its foundation deep in history.
Didi-Huberman takes the reader on a journey between the impossible limit of the horizon and the arrival into a site of reverie and light, from the story of Exodus to the...

The Surviving Image, originally published in French in 2002, is the result of Georges Didi-Huberman's extensive research into the life and work of foundational art historian Aby Warburg. Warburg envisioned an art history that drew from anthropology, psychoanalysis, and philosophy in order to understand the "life" of images. Drawing on a wide range of Warburg's unpublished letters and diaries, Didi-Huberman demonstrates unequivocally the complexity and importance of Warburg's ideas and the ways in which his legacy was both distorted and diffused as art history became a "humanistic"...

Křesťanská pokora či zatracení, sadismus či metamorfózy pohanských témat: s pomocí analýzy čtyř deskových maleb Sandra Botticelliho, ilustrujících jednu Boccacciovu povídku, odhalíme, jak se u tohoto velkého malíře nahota splétá s krutostí a krása s neklidem, přičemž jeho dílo čerpá své základní postupy ze snu a z fantasmatu.
Díky erudovaným exkursům do dobových teoretických i literárních textů francouzský filosof a historik umění Georges Didi-Huberman poukazuje na něco, co označuje jako hybridní charakter italské renesance. Na její...

V srpnu 1944 se členům osvětimského Sonderkommanda podařilo tajně vyfotografovat proces vyhlazování, v jehož samém jádru byli uvězněni. Zanechali po sobě čtyři fotografie. Georges Didi-Huberman se ve své knize pokouší jednak vylíčit peripetie, kterými museli tajní fotografové projít, jednak vytvořit fenomenologii pořízených snímků a pochopit jejich nutnost, jež platí dnes stejně jako tehdy. Vychází přitom ze zkoumání podmínek, za nichž lze v oboru historie využívat vizuální prameny. Své úvahy pak završuje filozofickou kritikou myšlenky...
