Abstract

The objective of the present investigation is to expose and make readable the ideas of memory and history in the work of the artist Roser Bru Llop under the philosophical matrix of Walter Benjamin. All this in the context of the question about the Ursprung of both works, that is, their expressive deployment - pictorial and scriptural - based on the construction of a forgotten historical experience. The dialectical overturn of the constellation war, dictatorship and exile of the ‘Destined’ of Bru and Benjamin's ‘Helpless’ is exposed.
