Resumen:
El flash automático se ha convertido en una técnica acomodaticia que tiene cierto efecto liberador: parece permitirle al fotógrafo relajar su servidumbre ante la luz natural mientras promete un instante congelado desligado de la duración. Es por eso por lo que el flash perturba para siempre la mirada fotográfica. Proclive a la sorpresa y retador de la oscuridad, es un dispositivo indiscreto que facilita el registro y a veces sortea la temporalidad que exige la formulación estética en ese acto de registro de lo real. Contra este automatismo mental aparece el fotolibro C.E.N.S.U.R.A. de Julián Barón (2011) en el que utiliza el flash para arrojar luz en condiciones de oscuridad simbólica. El fotógrafo se sirve de la sobreexposición de la imagen para ironizar sobre la sobreexposición mediática de las figuras políticas y consigue deslumbrar tanto a los fotografiados como al espectador. Cada fogonazo nos distancia, desnaturaliza la imagen y nos advierte de la inercia visual. Sus fotografías podrían parecer imágenes quemadas, fotos para descartar. Pero antes de poder ignorarlas Barón ya nos ha despertado.
Abstract:
The automatic flash has become a comfortable technique that has liberating effect: it seems to allow the photographer to relax with natural light while promising a frozen instant detached from the duration. It is for this reason that the flash disturbs forever the photographic gaze. Prone to surprise and challenger of darkness, it is an intrusive device that makes the registration of reality easier and sometimes avoids the temporality that the act of registration of the real demands. Against this mental automatism the photobook C.E.N.S.U.R.A., by Julian Baron (2011) uses the flash to illuminate dark conditions displayed symbolically. Photographer uses the overexposure of the photo to satirize about media overexposure of political figures and blinding both the photographed and the viewer. Each flash sets distance, distorts the image and warns us of the visual inertia. His photographs may appear burnt images, photos to reject. But before we can ignore them Baron has already awakened us.
