In order to discuss the relationship between experience and writing in the works of Walter Benjamin and Georges Bataille, this article starts with an analysis of the critical relations that the two authors established with surrealism in the late 1920s, and then proposes the reading of the fragment “Polyclinic”, extracted from Benjamin’s One-way street, and of Bataille’s “Eye”, published in the magazine Documents. We then discuss specifically the meaning that the figuration and the enactment of the eye assume in them.
