O essencial é invisível aos olhos: ensaio fotográfico sobre o estilo de vida minimalista

Abstract

The present work is part of an experimental project that seeks to understand the minimalist lifestyle, creating a documentary narrative, a photomicrography of two people who adopt minimalism in their lives. In order to design a Portuguese class, a research was done on how to build a high consumption community, emphasizing the way contemporary individuals consume, using authors such as: Bauman (2007) and Lipovetsky (2007), who comprise a contemporary society as a hedonistic society. He then approaches minimalism as a lifestyle within the consumer society, relying on the concepts of culture, counterculture and lifestyles. For the photography, the photojournalism and the photographic session, the authors were mainly found: Carroll (2013), Freeman (2011) and Souza (2008). The purpose of the work is to expose the minimalist lifestyle and how each participant understands it. The choice to carry out a photographic project through a documentary language is also an interest for the author, but also for a photograph not to be used to carry out documentary work in the works of conclusion of the editorial course. the audiovisual product is used. At the end, a graphic search was made up of 55 images exposed in the format of a digital photobook.
