Sumario:This article intents to bring together in a critical approach two contemporary artists: the German novelist W.G. Sebald and the Polish plastic artist Franz Krajcberg. Our analysis will privilege a central common element in their work, the photography. Index of the catastrophies of nature and civilization, the photography in those works is tightly connected to two main themes: death and memory.
