Му research interests include such seemingly different methodological areas as the image theory and art history. While the first seeks to understand the nature of the image, and the mechanisms by which it manages to become a part of social relations, as a subject, the second turns out to be locked in the perspective of art as a medium and focused on its history as continued tradition. The theme that unites these two vectors, for me became the theme of memorization, closely associated in the history of art with the name of Aby Warburg and his project of the Atlas of Mnemozine. As part of my goal in NUG is to investigate interrelationships of these areas, and the entry point into research for me this is the phenomenon of memory.

Paper's title: "The image as an index of death. Cultural memory as an actualization of the absence".
