O jogo contra o aparelho: a fotografia na prática artística

Abstract

In the 21st century, photography conquers it's space among the contemporary art world as a legitimate support, able to mantain the dialogic nature of an art form inside a diverse and constantly mutating photographic landscape. In this context, the matters which have influence over it are, increasingly, the ones of generic image production. Thus, through Flusser's phenomenological analysis about the photographic apparattus and technical images, is attested on human beings a supposed state of alienation towards those, besides the possibility of emancipation of these images in what the author calls playing against the apparatus - on the practical projects presented, it conforms to the attempt of representing time in the photographic image.
