L’Almageste. Frédéric Coché (Frémok)

If one believes in recurrency of human history, or at least its possibile reductiveness to a number of actions, tropes, and in terms of visuality, to Warburg’s engrams, i.e., recurring images that store humankind’s memories, that can be re-used and rekindled as writable traces, then Frédéric Coché’s books are perfect alignments for such thoughts. The author is always on the ready to deploy once again known imagetic and cultural references from the History of Art (with a particular penchant for Medieval icons) in new, fantastical contexts that, at one time, reflect something from our own contemporary times but also speculate upon the long-standing filiation in strange continuities of human endeavors.
