Formless, Heterology, CommunicationAbstract
In this article, we analyze how, in visual terms, the meanings articulated by the formeless, note published by Georges Bataille in the Documents magazine, are determined by an operation that shatters the form while keeping it at the edge of integrity. In this sense, we will investigate how the clouds and the blots in the works of Hans Bellmer and Nobuyoshi Araki contrast with the notion of purity of the photographic cut defended by Philippe Dubois, at the moment that we perceive, from the concept of heterology, of Georges Bataille, as they become a space of contamination, where the low and the high alternate to the point of eliminating the boundaries between the subject and the world, the human being and the nature.
