Four questions about the state of Warburgian studies today : On the exhibition Camere con vista. Aby Warburg, Firenze e il laboratorio delle immagini, Firenze, Gallerie degli Uffizi, 19 settembre -10 dicembre 2023 / Claudia Wedepohl. Interviewed by Ada Naval
In this interview, Claudia Wedepohl, the Archivist at the Warburg Institute and co-curator of the “Camere con vista. Aby Warburg, Firenze e il laboratorio delle immagini” exhibition at the Gallerie degli Uffizi, discusses the enduring significance of Aby Warburg’s work, particularly Mnemosyne. Wedepohl emphasizes the challenge of comprehending Mnemosyne and underscores Warburg’s discovery of the power of images in political terms as a key point still relevant today. The discussion also touches upon the idea of exhibiting Warburg's original panels to recreate the laboratory-like environment he envisioned for his work.
