Abstract

We start from the idea that the photographic image connects objective reality and the subjective world. This idea has been extensively elaborated in the field of the Theories of Photography and Cinematography, such as Siegfried Kracauer, Edgar Morin, Roland Barthes and other authors, as well as in some of the experiences of the film director Agnès Varda. Thus, through the application of various mental and technical devices - smartphone cameras - we proposed and carried out a sequence of practical experiments in relation to the reading, observation and dynamisation of some of the author's photographs. The results yield interesting insights into the emergence of new personal and narrative interpretations, beyond the reality captured objectively and mechanically by the camera. These results take the form of various audiovisual pieces, one of which is included here. The latter constitute in themselves new creations and aesthetic attitudes which, despite being related, are situated on the margins of the original work.
