O olhar de Medusa e a reparação do mundo: 6 flashes e um álbum aberto

Abstract

In Thinking about the "salvation of the world" from the vantage point of photography, understood not so much as the product of an optical mechanism or as a form of social communication but as the art of the gaze, has led me to gather a series of reflections which seek to elucidate, on the one hand, the idea of "salvation" as a "reparation" paradigm in contemporary literature and, on the other, some intrinsic and extrinsic conditions, through a more or less protracted process that extends from the rendering of the photographer's gaze by the camera to its reception by the gaze(s) of different spectators, that allow the photographic image to effectively participate in a leisurely and life-enhancing revelation of reality that all kinds of viewers can enjoy.
