Conference by Margarita Ledo Andión at the Sorbonne Nouvelle: The image that is missing, the image that wounds

The political auto-biography, making known its construction, the mark of the device, the real as material that ‘must be fictionalised in order to be thought (Rancière) is one of the signs and also the archives re-signified by the writings of the “I”, by the body, by its echoes, by the performance… are entrances through which we access the interior of the labyrinth carrying in our hands perhaps incidental pieces, visual poems, correspondences with the aim of accompanying the works from a certain female gaze that is expressed in three or four different samples. The diary, the film memories, the performance, the scent of a language that resisted the winter, bring the scene to the awareness perhaps of different modes of perception and, at the same time, of that gaze that, by culture, relates us in the same way to certain images. And with the transitive form of a work that speaks to us. In the shadow zone, the thought and the risk that others have taken so that we can cross the screen without fear.
