Memes of subversion

Whatever is unnamed, undepicted in images, whatever is omitted from biography, censored in collections of letters, whatever is misnamed as something else, made difficult-to-come-by, whatever is buried in the memory by the collapse of meaning under an inadequate or lying language -- this will become, not merely unspoken, but unspeakable. - Adrienne Rich

"Every image of the past that is not recognized by the present as one of its own concerns threatens to disappear irretrievably.” – Walter Benjamin
