A ti, imagem do meu tempo: um fotolivro sobre a memória familiar como instrumento autobiográfico de pertencimento social

Abstract

From ancient to modern times, photography has established itself as an important language capable of recording narratives. This project presents, across different decades, part of the author's family history and his own, through memories and photographs. The visual work emerges from the pursuit of studies on family photographic images as a relevant instrument in telling autobiographical stories. With the aim of conceptualizing a record capable of illustrating different points of view, groups belonging to the family nucleus are part of the archival sources, and experimental processes contribute to the production. Based on the knowledge related to visual language, photography, and narrative acquired during the undergraduate studies in Social Communication: Advertising and Public Relations, the work aims to address interpretations related to time, its passage, and its impact on the author's life. Therefore, the result is the documentation of family memories as an autobiographical source of social belonging, through the photobook.
