It is clear now that the image is separated from the ground, a distinct totality that breaks with the continuity of life in general. It does exert a force that comes from the relationship between the distinct or remarkable image and the invisible ground that surrounds it by being absent. The image does not merely symbolize or represent some other thing; instead, it literally presents the dissimilarity that inhabits resemblance. Art is image in its purest form, since art does nothing other than present this groundlessness of meaning. Di Benedetto escribió una serie de crónicas sobre arte y artistas, en los años ochenta, que nos obligan a releer Zama. Se vuelve claro entonces que toda imagen está separada de su fondo, una totalidad distinta que rompe la continuidad de la vida en general. Ejerce, específicamente, una fuerza que proviene de la relación entre la imagen distinta o destacada y el contexto invisible que cerca su ausencia. La imagen no solo simboliza o representa algo; presenta, literalmente, la desemejanza que permite la similitud. El arte es imagen en su forma más pura, ya que no es otra cosa que la exhibición de su falta de fundamento.
