Memòria i Ceguesa (Memory and Blindness, 2004-2013) is a pictorial investigation into the representation of European historical memory, a reflection on the crisis of artistic language “after Auschwitz” and on the boundaries of its representation. The project explores the visual and commemorative potential of cartographic and linguistic signs in a geographical journey through the spaces of exception where historical events took place. The blurring of the signs, the erasure of the images and the fracture of the pictorial surfaces become the visual metaphors of historical violence, the wounds of a collective memory that have never completely healed.
