Some works incorporate stylistic devices and subject matters that seem dated, passé or quasi-extinct;
others capture traumatic moments of the historical past; some are recreations of previous works, creating the sensation that they are pursued by a lost or distant original; there are ghostly
images and morbid symbols of the past as ruins and
apocalyptic landscapes; and, finally, there are creations that analyze the role that archives play in collective memory and personal obsession.
