Fotografia de vida íntima : afectividades da obra de Nan Goldin em um percurso biográfico-artístico

Abstract

This research proposes a discussion about the relations established between photography and contemporary art, from a perspective in which artistic production dialogues with intimate photographic production. Photography is assumed as a mediating process culturally constructed, taking into account aspects of its technological conformation and its social uses, both dimensions considered essential to the production of meaning for these images. To establish these relations through an interdisciplinary perspective, the research seeks to integrate points of view from areas of knowledge that contributed to a more complex understanding of photography in its dialogue with society, technology, art history and modern times. Finally, the research focuses on the work "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" by contemporary photographer Nan Goldin, which highlights these relationships between the visual arts and the snapshots of everyday family life, either through the photographic image or the materiality of photography. Following the investigation of the work of Goldin, developed directly under the influence of the relationship between art and life, follows the development of a work project of an autobiographical nature entitled "Love me Tinder", whose aim is based on a visual perception between art and the documentary plane of what occurs in the sphere of the intimacy of private life. This intimacy, however, unfolds in everyday life, from encounters that have left the realm of the virtual (marked through a technological platform), to the real world, in which they have found their space. It is not only about producing images that reveal life, but also about the very experience of photographing, living it, modifying it, being it, reconfiguring it with the help of the internet, and using "Tinder", the controversial platform for relationships as a compass.
