| Abstract | |
This thesis starts with a historical and theoretical presentation about contemporary photography from the ontological subject, which gained evidence in the 1980s, mainly through names such as Roland Barthes, Rosalind Krauss and Philippe Dubois, to more recent authors such as Michel Poivert, Dominique Baqué, Tadeu Chiarelli, Rubens Fernandes Junior. Since then, a line of thought that aims to show a set of evidences in the relationship among works has been developed, at the same time it can be seen as part of a contemporary process in photography, but also surpass it when they are fact in a broader situation of absorption of the photographic substance by the processes and strategies of the contemporaneous artists. Productions with hybrid characteristics in many senses, that cover other specificities of art as much as residues of everyday life; and that carry the mark of the corporal action or gestural interference of the artist in the archive, the support, the scenic composition and in the construction of the image or artistic object. To build this path, the research starts from six expositions that question themselves, in their proposition and in their own title: what photography is and what are its extremes, limits, borders and territories? These exhibitions were presented by leading photography museological institutions for modern and contemporary art, and chosen to create a parallel among art capitals in North America, South America and Europe. Thus, considering a temporal cut that focused on the XXI century, in São Paulo, we chose to work with the Museum of Contemporary Art of USP (University Of Sao Paulo State), which presented between 2013 and 2015 the exhibition Fronteiras Incertas and with the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, who presented the Fotografia/Não Fotografia exhibition in 2001. In New York, the selected exhibitions were: What is a Photograph? presented by the International Center of Photography and The Original Copy: Photography of Sculpture, 1839 until today, presented by the MoMa (Museum of Modern Art). And, in Paris, the exhibitions Qu'est-ce que la Photographie ?, presented by the Center Georges Pompidou and Autour de l'Extrême, presented by the Maison Européenne de la Photographie were chosen to close the group that is research object of this thesis. Exhibitions are important pieces of the speech built by museums to describe art and to legitimize art itself, it was decided to follow the tracks and notes that these exhibitions presented through their different paths, with the central objective of perceiving internal characteristics of the works that were part of them, as well as the relations that were established among themselves, that indicatie places and (un) definitions for photography in the contemporary art field at the beginning of this century (AU) | |
