Modern man approaches the world through expressive imprints that are buried but have never disappeared from his collective memory. The ‘Fatal Pattern’ is an examination of these expressive imprints. This thesis aims to make a thematic comparison between contemporary pop culture and Aby Warburg's collection of images, exposing these ‘Fatal Forms’ as the patriarchal ghosts that surround us. The focus of the thesis is Warburg's hauntology and mnemosyne process. Warburg saw in the images creative energies, the eternal expressions of human beings, human passion, and human destiny. The motifs are several prints that were transferred to the limestone with acetone and, through their rasterization, form the fatal print pattern of the moire.
