(Im)mobile displacements

Abstract

With this article I propose an analytical and comparative approach to movement based on a series of works organised as visual sequences which argue for the syntax of representation using the photographic image, drawing and words. On the one hand, in the sequences of photos, movement does not only appear as an inscription of a physical route, recorded by a fluency of photography images or by the action of capturing and pursuing the objective, but also as an ideological trajectory organised through the semiotic order of the photographic image itself and of the framing as the element that structures the gaze. And on the other hand, in the drawn pictogram, movement is initiated by the very act of marking and staining the paper. Drawing  is interpreted as an action that establishes scenic and temporary relations both with the real, physical space and with the psyche. The works that motivated this analysis, entitled, Affidamento, Posiciones, La imagen negada and Correspondencias, aim to establish a dynamic grammar of representation.
