Abstract

This work take as reference the photographic and exhibition project 'Mali', by Jean-Baptiste Huynh, based on the analysis of the plastic and phenomenological dimension of the portraits to think about the construction of the power of the photographic inn in different supports and exhibition dimensions. Based on the individuation of the Maltese faces and the capture of expressive records, we study how these portraits are mobilized in a double process: the photographic dimension seen as an attempt to provide a prototypical alterity that summons the optimism of the gaze, and the relationship between coding and aesthetic form.
