Seven centuries made of stone collapse without nostalgia in the blink of an eye. Some call the variable frequency of this blink History, others class struggle, progress, barbarism or cinema. If we assume that the accumulation of blinks during a lifetime is high, we can conclude that we spend a good part of it awake even though our eyes are closed. Perhaps then, haven’t we overestimated the capacity of the image and therefore of vision as privileged providers of consciousness? How many flutters of an eyelid will it take to fix in our gaze the image of a world that destroys itself?
