Abstract

The Collection Edmundo Gardolinski constitutes the main set of documents of this research. Gardolinski (1914-1974) was a descendant of Polish immigrants, civil engineer and amateur photographer. His collection consists of a compilation of particular traces of numerous issues of his personal and professional life, archived on various media. It is composed of books, newspapers and magazines, letters, personal notes and photographs. Within this collection, I have only selected the photography portion and, among them, the photographs of the construction of Vila do IAPI in Porto Alegre - the most important project of Gardolinski's professional life. The purpose of the research is to promote an insertion in debates about the use of photography in historical works, considering the technical image as a physical artifact, autonomous and independent of its author or referent. The analysis includes the circulation and the influence of the objects in the relationship between such objects and the subjects, as well as between subjects. Moreover, the photographs are seen as carriers of a filed memory, since it conforms an image the subject itself, while creating a new visuality for the Vila do IAPI (AU)
