SENSAÇÕES INAUDITAS, MUNDOS POSSÍVEIS?

Abstract

What forces do images have when they are detached from a desire of representing, explaining, presenting a preexisting real? When the images no longer tend to reveal truths, what intensive forces do they gain? This article presents the works of artists who offer the world, through photographic creation, images that unbalance the ways we see and think of vision and perception. These works defy visual orders and move us toward the unspoken, unperceived and unrepresentable. Faced with the excess of images and the exhaustion of the possibilities of absorption of the world by the images, the works of Miguel Rio Branco, Claudia Andujar, Moisés Patrício and Cao Guimarães create voids through which sensations leak. With Peter Pal Pelbart and Gilles Deleuze, artistic creation is thought of (and lived) as a break from the automatisms of perception, as windows to other kinds of world encounters and creations.

KEYWORDS: Photography; visuality; Gilles Deleuze.
