(Counter) Memory and biopolitics in Todos tus muertos (Carlos Moreno, 2011)

Abstract

In this article we analyse the presence, in the animated short film Destino (2003), of some of the most recurrent plastic motifs in Salvador Dalí’s work. The soft watches, the crutches, the tingling sensation and even the most fateful or most desired hours will be paraded through it. We shall proceed to recount these motifs, animated in the short, and to give a sense of their presence both in the short film and, by extension, in the work of the painter from Figueres.
