Estabamos al( 11X.Lois Gutierrez Failde |As imaxes] Todas as imaxes.Todas esas imaxes que espertan o estupor da presencla. Econoinia de sinais regulando todo d que quen fotograf iou queira amosar; todo o que ti queiras e sexas capaz de soster coa tua mirada. Nesa 'natureza privada da experiencia' (V. Burgin). Noseu magnetico poder de expansion fora do olio. Estamos coa fotografi'a. Estamos co que non puldo intuir 0 fotografo. Un acontecemento que encaixa o enfase dislocado da nosa memoria e desborda as previsions do mirar.

Unhas imaxes que aluden a pegada borrosa dese espacio que ocupan OS corpos amados, a ese escenario abstracto e rotundo que so coa nosa mirada toma ese aire de fomilia: esa estrana

proximidade que convoca i nosa mirada a unha verdade que se nos val das mans.

Si; PUNCTUM. Segue a set unha palabra'indvitableet gracieuxT (R, Barthes)

• due recordasdas fotosquegardaa tiiafamilia?

- Fondos. figures... • E caies conserves?

- As que os nomes. os rostros se poidan completar co cllma do lugar, CO calculo dun escenario concrete. Pero ainda as(. sd son fotos.

•Si. pero son esas fotos nas que parece qoeunnonpoderia viviren ningun outro iugarque nonfose esa paisaxecomun que as iiustra... - Parece. si. Pero so son fotos.

|Exercicio/tarefa| Requirese logo dunha formacion nooilo pero tamen duncerto entusiasmo patoloxico. Edesa espontaneidade de conectar coas personaxes, de remexer nese rexistro de verdade que a foto poida deixar.


lll]Tamen oacto da toma. Ningunha torna propia, as(: poden'a ser un requisito -se e quaeste relatoaguanta unrequisite. Escorado cara o mais sinxelo. S6 escollendo na mirada dos outros, no

impulse dosoutros. Eofreces ou usasese mesmodon agora: vero quecadamirada necesita paraser completada. #

Toda esamorte axena, ait. nas imaxes.Toda esa morte que continua -ainda- pertencendo aos outros.

Ao contrario de Handke. non consigo veraqui"o problema da vidacomafigura" Prefiroa ingravidez hoiistica do oco.Ese aire

que deixan osque amamos naqueles lugares significativos; naqueles lugares circunstanclais; naqueles lugares que completan a presenza do posibel e a redondean e fana cribel para mm e para os outros. 0 oco. ese occ. formalize un espazo onde rostros e corpos reviran mais obxectuais: dispostos agora noutro soporte axeno ao meu relatofotografico e osfondos e paisaxes adquiren unha nova resonancia, menos material ou definida. Asumo logo, con certa vertixe. esa empiria truncada"(A. Badiou) onde todos os sitios onde nosretratan mantefien -foraoudentro dodiscurso da fotografla- a

inclusion da nosa presencia e eseoco do noso corpo ou dos outros tdrnase porta. unha lene porta dende onde seguer aspegadas do que tivo lugaraK.

We 're there //(English version) [Pictures] All pictures. All those pictures that awaken the astonish

mentof the presence. Economy of signalsregulatingeverythingwant to show who photographed, all that you want, be able to hold with

you look. In this "privatenature of the experience"(V, Burgin). In its magneticpowerexpansion out of sight.We are with photography. We

thuscould notintuitphotographer. An eventthat fits the emphasis dislocated from ourmemory and overflows the gaze forecasts. Some

images that allude to the blurred trace that spaceoccupy the beloved bodies, the abstract stage andresounding that only with oureyes take that family likeness; suchstrange proximity that calls our atten tion to a truth we get out of hand.

tt

So: PUNCTUM. Follow be oneword "inevitable et gracieux". (R, Barthes)

tt

•What do you remember ofthe photos save your family? - Backgrounds, figures... And which are preserved?

-Those whose names and faces can be completed with theatmosphe reofaplace, thecalculation ofaspecific scene. But still, they areonly pictures.

-Yes, but are those pictures where it seems that one could not livein

anywhereelse that wasnotthat common places that illustrates... Itseems, yes. Butthem are just pictures. tt

[Exercise/task] Then requires agaze training but a certain pathologi cal enthusiasm too. Andthat spontaneity to connect with the charac

ters, removing inthis truth record that the picture mayleaveus.[11]

The shooting act, too. So, no shotofmine: it could bea requirement - ifthisstory holds a requirement. Heeledto besimple. Justchoosing inthe gazeof others,in the pulse of the others. And offer or you use that samegift now: see whatevery look needsto becompleted.


All that death of others, there in the pictures. All that death yet, continuing to belong to the other.

a

Unlike Handke. Iget to see here"the problem of lifelike a figure" I

preferthe holistic weightlessness of the gap. That look left by those we love in significantplaces: inthose common places, inthose pla ces that completethe presence of the possible and make it rounded and believable for me and for others. The gap, that gap. formalizes

a space wherefaces and bodiesbecome moreobjectuai; willing now to other media out to myphotographic story. And backgrounds and

landscapes acquirea new resonance, less material or defined. Then Iassume,withtrue vertigo, this "truncatedempiricism" (A. Badiou) where all the places where we are depicted

stand on-insideor outside the photographic discourse-the inclu sionof our presence and that holeinourbodyor other becomes door, an ethereal door where to track the signs of what took place there.
