Abstract

The photographic image is the contemporary image par excellence, that expresses a complex power as a trace and material evidence of reality. Photography also acts like an index, that is to say, a physical and material equivalent of memory. In this way, by means of those images -where the content is the memory -evidence-, photography controls representation and becomes a document. The relevance of these photographic documents lies in their being the ultimate achievement of the so-called 'objective vision': accurate, truthful and natural.
