Abstract(s)
Esta tese procura investigar a fotografia enquanto potencial imagem do mundo em resultado de
uma prática artística subjectiva. Em virtude da crescente hibridização entre o real e o artificial na
fotografia contemporânea, a fotografia é assumida como uma prática complexa que impõe a necessidade
de uma reflexão alargada. O estudo da história da fotografia e dos diferentes discursos estéticos e críticos
em torno da representação do real procurará contextualizar as novas correntes da fotografia
contemporânea e contribuir para o recorrente debate sobre as fronteiras que delimitam os discursos
artísticos e críticos da própria prática fotográfica. Em consequência da impossibilidade de se proceder
a uma investigação que englobe de forma inequívoca toda a variedade de práticas e discursos que
dominam o campo da fotografia, esta tese apresenta como eixo central a fotografia documental e o seu
legado de verosimilhança com o real, sob a perspectiva da prática fotográfica enquanto exercício da
expressão fragmentária do artista. De forma a sustentar a argumentação teórica aqui defendida, é
apresentada uma reflexão sobre a minha prática fotográfica, suportada por um corpo de trabalho
intitulado Still There (2011-2016).
This thesis aims to investigate photography as a potential image of the world and as a result of a subjective artistic practice. Because of the increasing hybridization between reality and artificiality in contemporary photography, this thesis assumes photography as a highly complex practice that imposes the need for a broader reflection. The study of the history of photography and of the different aesthetic and critical discourses surrounding the representation of the theme of the real will try to contextualize the new contemporary photographic practices and contribute to the recurrent debate about the boundaries that delimit the artistic and critical discourses from the photographic practice itself. As a result of the impossibility of carrying out an investigation that unequivocally encompasses all the variety of practices and discourses that dominate the field of photography, this thesis assumes documentary photography and its legacy of verisimilitude with reality as its central axis, through the perspective of photographic practice as an exercise of the fragmentary expression of an artist. In order to support the theoretical arguments herein analyzed, this thesis presents a reflection on my own photographic practice, based on a body of work entitled Still There (2011-2016).
