In recent years, we have observed in several visual practices a tendency to work with inaccurate and unstable images, images who give up clarity and distance, requiring a new way of looking – a closer look at the surface, at the details, the small events that emerge in the image. This is a kind of visibility that we can define, with Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, as haptic, a type of image that induces a space and a kind of perception more tactile than visual, a close perception, working by touch. The purpose of this paper is to think what is at stake in this kind of visual proposal. It is to investigate what new aesthetic and epistemological assemblages are produced by these images.
