Abstract

BUSCHINELLI, Cintia. Never let me go: memory and forgetfulness - representing the unrepresentable (dialogue between art and psychoanalysis). Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2015, vol.49, n.4, pp. 193-202. ISSN 0486-641X.

Anti-monument (a contemporary artistic term) works the memory for traumatic events and its opposite, the forgetfulness, in a very particular way that is also close to the psychoanalytic experience. The German artists Horst Hoheisel and Andreas Knitz, and the Brazilian artist Fulvia Molina are devoted to those events, which usually cannot be represented. Those artists' work proposes to break the representational saturation of some artistic objects, by inviting the audience to fill it with their (spectators') own bodies and memories. In this way, those artists have started a new artistic practice, a construction of a living and impermanent monument. As an anti-monument, this paper was written by Cintia Buschinelli, who produced it from Silvana Rea's interviews of the three artists herein mentioned, and from a close reading of a Márcio Seligmann-Silva's article. It means that this paper was developed by several authors.

Keywords : memory; forgetfulness; psychic representation; anti-monument; psychoanalysis and art.
