O unheimliche wunderkammer da bibliotheca abscondita

Abstract

ProcessesBelonginsand Works are silent characters that are congregated in the Third Edition of the First Catalogue of Privileged Belongings of the Unheimliche Wunderkammer of the Bibliotheca Abscondita, the bookobject that curiously is as much as starting point as also crown the end of this stage of inquiry in art. Tied for one same Property, in principle intangible to thejudgment, Processes and Works served themseves of the stories that PrecursoryBelongings had told to bring to the conscience this Property, to reveal the methods of this union, as well as inventing they own narrative. One was undertaken then into a strange reverse epic of discovery,from the place of the exotic turned to usual, to the place of the reason tranfigured in a fancy whim, where renascence and baroque collections and collectors appear, the Mirabilia become Unheimliche and the admitted errors turn into inquiry procedures. Like many stories of journeys and wonders of XVI and XVII centuries, one fulfilled the way of the immovable traveller, whose path was paved with the remnants of others as many speeches or, in the eventual gaps, to the imagination remained the task to sew the necessary bridges.
