Fazer inventariado: o espaço urbano, o objeto e a fotografia na série “Casas da Rua”

Abstract

This study is about the theoretical search on an act aimed at increasing its meanings through textual production about elements that make the practical questions. The practical part holding the meanings mentioned at theoretical discussion includes the photographic series called “Casas da Rua” (“Houses of the Street”). This series is made of scenes of toy furniture in holes of houses and walls that are shot afterwards. From this visual production they were settled themes discussed in the course of the text heading for the whole process from the beginning of the idea to its result. So, they were considered issues like the building of the idea, the space of the street, its contemporary condition and the meaning of the place. Also, it was studied the meaning of the object as an element (furniture) that is part of the scenes. Finally, there were conclusions on artistic photography and its meaning in the proposition. The intention of the research that counted on my thought based on different authors enabled a better understanding of the steps of the study by providing a better understanding of my practices and choices. The works whose reflections created a discussion of their main guides collaborate on the presentation of this research, that is, the presentation of a series made of twenty colour pictures.
