CONTEMPORARY ALLEGORIES

Based on the ideas of experience, allegory and symbol, which are typical of a traditional structure of interpretation, we propose that the change in the conceptual equipment to address the work of art as a place of knowledge does not come from the tools used in the interpretation. Starting from a perspective of contemporary art grounded in hermeneutics (the phenomenon of understanding and correctly interpreting texts, but also objects of experience), this article deals with art as an experience in which a truth is expressed that cannot be verified by means of the scientific perspective, but can become an object of interpretation.
