Abstract

The present text corresponds to a study for the aesthetic understanding of poetic-artistic practice in the field of photography, a practice that resulted in several black and white photos, of which fifteen were selected to represent the work and for public exhibition. Observing the heterogeneity of the resulting photos, whose unity seems to occur only in uncertainty and aesthetic potential, this work seeks to understand this unexpected congregation of factors, in approaching semiotic topics such as icon, index and symbol, as well as the notions of photocoding, photographic out of field, chance and formless thing machine generator. It also reports the organization of the pertinent exhibition and the respective experience with a sample of public, ending with a reflective recognition around the student learning involved and its possible influence on a professional future in the field of photography.
