Fulano(the painter) desentierra, como el arqueólogo, el pasado de una memoria que muestra los distintos planos de sedimentación de la imagen. Esta pintura, por tanto, nos sitúa frente al problema de la memoria y su lugar de emergencia

English translation:its place of emergence
Explanation:
Por lo que comenta en la frase anterior de las capas y el trabajo de arqueólogo, creo que emergencia se refiere a "emerger", "aparecer". Es decir, que a través de las imágenes se explora cómo se forma la memoria. Geez, that was a twisted one!

Explanation:
With topics such as art criticism and philosphy, you really have to be willing to massage the words until you get exactly the feeling you want.

I also like the feeling of multi-layers of memory, such as \"the multi-layered springs\". Memory is frequently compared to the layers of an onion, that have to be removed one by one to get the meat of the memory\'s source.
