ALONSO, Adriana. Symptom and loss in two Yishai Jusidman paintings. Índex [online]. 2019, n.7, pp.32-39. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i07.161.

This article seeks to problematize two paintings of the artist Yishai Jusidman using the concepts of symptom and loss proposed by the art historian Georges Didi-Huberman. 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 Contemporáneo UNAM (2016-2017). The reflection is stablished through the analysis of both pictorial representations, regarding the non-visible as a condition of critical possibility that enable us to situate ourselves in the interstice between the sensible and the intelligible. Furthermore, the article aims to examine the status of the gaze from the concept of memory, as a faculty of articulating heterogeneous times, as well as analyze the concepts of veil-image and tear-image to differentiate between those that have been designed according to the demands of history and those that encourage us to think and produce other images.

Keywords : Symptom; Lost; Didi-huberman; Yishai Jusidman; Images; Holocaust; Contemporary Art.
