00000000X. Estrategias y cuestiones de la postfotográfia

Abstract

In the nineties starts talking about a postfographic era in which the photographic paradigm as a model of realism overcome or not, hybrid images will be developed where the real and the virtual begin to mixed. Thus arises the concept of post-‐ photography which will be referred to the photographic after "the death of photography". This is a remarkable change in the photographic field in which the processes and behaviors of digital technology have displaced, broken and subverted the adjudicated beliefs attributed to traditional photography. Freed from old issues, digital photography becomes a tool of high potential in the artistic field. Using the same post-‐photographic strategies used by the media, 00000000X is an artistic proposal that, besides analyzing and denouncing certain iconic excesses that take place in our society, reclaims the double-‐edged sword in which digital photography has become. Placing special emphasis on the self-‐reflection that post-‐photography has on the medium itself. Thus, the main objective of this research is to find a correlation between the images presented in the 00000000X project and the uses that post-‐photographic strategies make possible: the problem of not distinguishing between reality and fiction when experiencing new media and technologies in old and familiar contexts; identify as a true image without real referent through mimetic and code discourse; the possibility of correcting what is already done by the operation of the "second shutter", etc. These issues will illustrate how the skepticism surrounding post-‐photography, together with the creative process it enables, makes it the ideal medium for reflection on issues such as representation and reality. Concluding that post-‐photographic practice is particularly the image-‐act proposed by Roland Barthes.
