“Que histórias você tem pra contar?”: fotografia e memórias desconhecidas em audiovisual

Abstract

The present memorial aims to accompany the process of elaboration and development related to the short audiovisual essay “Que histórias você tem para contar?” (“What stories do you have to tell?”). It first addresses the ways to arrive at the proposal of working with a photograph of unknown origin, and then delves into discussions about the status of the photographic image and the relationship that the viewer establishes with it, about aspects concerning the soundscape, as well as the question of fabulation and the genetic process of creation of both the audiovisual work in question and the writing of this memorial. The work has as theoretical foundation Barthes (1984), Bucci (2008), Rancière (2012), among others, to address the theme of the photographic image, as well as Zumthor (2007) in relation to the condition of the viewer before the work of art. With regard to thinking about sonority aspects, the work draws on Schafer (2011), and on Deleuze (2005) for the question of fabulation. As for the genetics of the creative process, it turns to Salles (2008; 2011). In addition, the main audiovisual references are Carvalho (2010), Flores (2009), and Guzmán (2015; 2019). The fact that a work, whether audiovisual or written, is delivered to the public does not mean it represents the definitive version of the creative investigation, but rather the presentation of one stage of its development
