Mnemosyne: Bilderdemonstration, Bilderreihen, Bilderatlas…

Summary/Abstract: With the name Mnemosyne we can identify a great project by Aby Warburg, which includes the collection and systematization of his library, devoted to the mother of the Muses, his last unfinished book, the Atlas, and also documents that testify a praxis of Warburg research methodology, the exhibition. This paper collects critical considerations on these issues and proposes an inedited chronology of documentary photographs exhibitions – Bilderreihen and Bilderdemonstrationen – by the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg and of the preparatory stages of the Mnemosyne book.
