Abstract(s)
This PhD Thesis is both theoretical and practical by nature. Putting Photography at its core, as an expanded field, the developed project assumed Bergson’s and Marey’s notions of movement and time, searching in the present time the seminal possibility of creating a new corporeal object. The analysis of the medium’s plastic characteristics, as well of its ability to show the luminous trace through blurred trails, lead to the observation of a continuous movement in an intensive time, where the referent’s shape is lost and replaced by what is unformed and shapeless. This work also implies the contrast between the classic process of threedimensionality’s loss through photography, characterized by the annulment of volumetry and depth, and the possibility to recover a voluminous existence through the image’s virtualization, bringing it closer to the sculptural and therefore allowing the passage of two-dimensionality to three-dimensionality. The theoretical analysis and the practical achievement aimed by this thesis resulted in a project — 2” to 8” — whose primordial goal is to illustrate how the photographic may become sculptural through movement and, with it, through the duration of the present time, generating an interval that materializes and becomes a corporeal object. This project highlights the fertile connection between scientific research and artistic creation, which has been raising more curiosity through the last couple of decades, becoming a natural object of investigation. In this case, the photographic thought, organized as a visual essay, articulates the typical intention and plan of a research project with the reflection resulting from the attention given by the researcher to its own creative process, thus becoming a methodological strategy as well.
