In one of the most recent, In the stirred air...At the Centre for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona, ​​the model of Cloud and chair that crowns the Museu Tàpies, a Face from the 1960s and White diptych with crackle effect, The latter is a painting to which Didi-Huberman gave a corporeal dimension. The trajectories of Tàpies and Didi-Huberman share many elements related to the body, the connection between art and politics, and the transformative power of art; it was therefore only a matter of time before their paths crossed: Didi-Huberman is the winner of the second edition of the International Essay Prize "Gesture of Yesterday, Thought of Today," promoted by the Museu Tàpies and the Tàpies Chair at Pompeu Fabra University.

At the exhibition In the moved air... French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Huberman (Saint-Étienne, 1953) proposes taking a critical step back and stopping to read, allowing images to move us, but also to ask us questions. He does this by following in the footsteps of some of Lorca's verses and through three hundred works by artists such as Goya, Dalí, Giacometti, Miró, Picasso, Colita, and Rodin. The exhibition, which begins and ends with the gaze of children, is a co-production of the CCCB, where it can be seen until September 28, and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, where he was present last year. Didi-Huberman has a long body of work dedicated to the uses and meanings of images and has never tiptoed around some highly controversial topics.. Among his works are: Images despite everything (2004; Images despite everything: visual memory of the Holocaust in the Spanish edition of Paidós), When images take position (2008; When images take position to Antonio Machado Books) and Passer, what is the cost? (2017; Pass, whatever the cost in Shangrila)
