back to work

Fazendo o balanço do projeto Coreogthere chego à obra de Jon Rafman, que utiliza imagens do Google Streetview, selecionadas, ampliadas, expostas como instantâneos.
A descrição de seu projeto no blog The Photography Post cabe como uma luva nas inquietações enfrentadas pelo nosso trabalho:

"Calling into questions of authorship, ownership, traditional documentary practice and photography’s increasingly immaterial existence, Rafman’s project hits all of the critical hot spots in the discussion of contemporary photographic practice. Rarely does a project succeed so succinctly in hitting it’s mark. Moreover, in an age when immaterial or web based work so often falls short in the transition to the material world, Rafman’s prints add to the experience of the work by removing the Google content from its expected milieu and forcing the viewer’s reconsideration of contemporary public space in the digital age."
