Photography and book as places for action: spaces project

Abstract

In this essay I reflect upon my artistic project spaces, starting from the performed photography notion introduced by Philip Auslander, in which the space of the photographic document becomes the primary place for the poetic action. The concept of interlacement proposed by the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty was also an important reference in the development of this project, in which I investigated the relationship between my body and the visible/tangible things in the landscape. In my proposition, the space-time sequence of the book form is superimposed to the temporal and spatial logic of the photographic act, in the artists’ books also designated spaces.
