520 _aAs Locke once said, signs and images are essential for memorizing and sharing experiences. By putting into words what could not be understood without them, they fulfill the positive part of a mediation. This is how they grasp time and put it into speech. This article compares the photographic self-portraits of Roman Opalka and the painted self-portraits of Maria Lassnig using a semiotic methodology to understand how, by making traces significant, they meet the challenges of both representing aging and sharing the experience of aging. This makes it possible to specify the contributions of the medium to this “effect of time” and to define two opposite forms of life.
