Summary/Abstract: In his study Nymphs, the Italian philosopher Agamben explores the origin of iconography, examining video and other indications.

This study, though it takes as its pretext an exhibition by the video artist Bill Viola, establishes numerous links with ancient, mediaeval and moden philosophy.
