El arte de la desaparición o la tekné del escepticismo catatónico
2025
Overview
The present paper discusses the phenomenon of disappearance drawing a parallelism with the suspension of judgment (epoché) as a Skeptical tool. Specifically, the paper addresses disappearance as a performative art (tekné) which establishes striking similarities with ataraxia’s undecidability. The paper takes as a starting point the investigation undertaken by Giorgio Agamben concerning the disappearance of the quantum physicist Ettore Majorana, and explores the consequences by means of picnolepsia, as conceived by Paul Virilio, and catatonia. The paper analyzes a selected variety of aesthetic examples that excavate skeptical strategies within disappearance, this understood as a poietic form of philosophical research, and is situated in the cross-disciplinary field of comparative aesthetics and visual studies.
