Abstract

Temporalities in heritage preservation

The clock in this photograph marks time from 1900, the year the gare d'Orsay was inaugurated, until 1936, when it ceased to function as a railway station. It came back to life in 1977, when they decided to build a museum on the original site, which became a heritage site of the city of Paris: Musée d'Orsay. A heritage/monument ensemble preserved and registered in a photographic image. The identity and symbolic language of a place, represented in photography in different temporalities: the clock in historical time and the image in photographic time, that came together to keep the memory alive. I would also add: in the time of all times.
