Descrição
Resumo:This reflection takes as its starting point the metaphor of the camera as a weapon to discuss changes in the photographic act based on three allegorical crimes: the crime of passion, serial murder and selficide. Faced with the disastrous consequences of these crimes, the essay presents the possibility of disarming the imagination around the photographic act, to seek other metaphors that are not violent, predatory and colonizing.
