講義ノート
イコノクラッシュ(iconoclash):造語<=イコノクラスム(iconoclasm)=偶像破壊
展覧会のテーマ神性を人間像として表現することを否定する宗教思想に基づき、イコン(聖画像)の制作、礼拝を禁止し、作品を破壊すること。とくに八〜九世紀、ビザンティン帝国において起きた大規模な聖像破壊運動をさす。
イコンは、それ自体が、病気治療、戦闘勝利、祈願成就などの奇跡をもたらすと考えられ、イコンを聖堂内や家庭に安置したり、掲げて行進したりし、それに祈りをささげたり、触れたり、接吻したりすることが行われた。
七二六年ビザンティン皇帝レオン三世はコンスタンティノポリスの宮廷の門に掲げられていたキリスト像イコンの撤去を命じ、ついでイコン礼拝の禁止、イコンの破壊、イコン擁護派の弾圧、処刑を行った。・・・(中略)・・・八四三年には皇帝ミカエル三世の母テオドラにより復活され、イコノクラスムは最終的に終息した。
なお、ヨーロッパにおける美術の破壊運動としては、このほかに、ルネサンス期のフィレンツェでの修道士サヴォナローラによる美術品の破壊、宗教改革後のプロテスタント勢力によるカトリック美術の破壊、フランス革命後の一種の啓蒙思想によるカトリック美術の破壊などがある。

論文:Bruno Latour, "What is Iconoclash? Or is There a World Beyond the Image Wars?"より偶像破壊の快楽p.14 We cannot do without image
"Truth is image, but there is no image of truth."
p.15 Questions
Why have images attracted so much hatred?
Why do they always return again, no matter how strongly one wants to get rid of them?
Why have the iconoclasts' hammers always seemed to strike sideways, destroying something else that seems, after the fact, to matter immensely?
How is it possible to go beyond this cycle of fascination, repulsion, destruction, atonement, that is generated by the forbidden-image worship?p.15 Suspending, pause and rest
"... this is not an iconoclastic exhibition: it is about iconoclasm. It attempts to suspend the urge to destroy images, requires us to pause for a moment, to leave the hammer to rest."
p.15 Worship of iconoclasm
"... it is the worship of iconoclasm itself which, in turn, is interrogated and evaluated."
論文:Boris Groys, "Iconoclasm as an Artistic Device. Iconoclastic Strategies in Film"よりp.282 Old gods have lost their power
"... the desecration of ancient idols is performed only in the name of other, more recent gods. Iconoclasm's purpose is to prove that the old gods have lost their power and are subsequently no longer able to defend their earthly temples and images."
p.282 Religion of Reason
"... all kinds of Christian churches were wrecked in the name of the religion of Reason"
p.284-285 Material superiority
"... shifted its focus from the message to the medium."
"... he means painting in its pure, material form in its superiority over the spirit."
"... the artistic avant-garde can be said to have celebrated the victory of the powerful―qua material―artistic media over the powerless zero medium "spirit,"..."p.290 Latest religion: Globalization
"... the earth itself, currently acting as the icon of the latest religion of globalization, is destroyed by forces from outer space."
p.291 Icons of civilization
"The destruction of icons of civilization such as the City of Paris primarily illustrates the material transience of all human civilizations and their iconographies."
p.292 Inhumane evil
"... the iconoclastic gesture is now inevitably seen as the expression of radical, inhumane evil, the work of pernicious aliens, vampires, and deranged humanoid machines."
p. 293 Beneath the real world
"... as if it were a long-running "reality show" produced using quasi-cinematographic techniques in some otherwordly studio hidden beneath the surface of the real world."
p.294 Conjunctive contemplation
"They can interrupt their examination of a picture at any time and return to it later on to resume contemplation of the work at exactly the same point as they left it. For the entire period of the viewer's absence the immobile picture will remain in an identical state and is thus constantly available for repeated contemplation."
p.294 Two cultural models
"In our culture we have two fundamentally different models at our disposal that give us control over the time we spend looking at an image: the immobilization of the image in the museum or the immobilization of the viewer in the movie theater."
p.294 Strategy of shortness
"... one widespread strategy has been to make the individual video or film sequences as short as possible so as to ensure that the time a viewer spends in front of a work does not substantially exceed the time a viewer might on average be expected to spend in front of a "good" picture in a museum."
