O risco que o risco faz: a fotografia na cidade insegura

Abstract

The present writing highlights the issues related to the production arising from research in visual poetics in which reveals a series of displacements made in Pedro Osório and Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, and their theoretical implications. The text explores the process of creating images made by a female artist from a series of incursions, evidencing her production as a way of inhabiting the insecure city and establishing relationships with it, using this theme as a motto for artistic creation, as well as contemporary artistic references. The theoretical basis is supported by Francesco Careri (2013) with a perspective of displacement as an artistic process and Jane Jacobs (2000) to discuss ways of defining urban space. Furthermore, Charlotte Cotton (2010), Susan Sontag (1981), and Philippe Dubois (1986) regarding photography as contemporary art and its characteristics and unfolding of the image, and Nicolas Bourriaud (2009) to reflect about post-production.
