Objectives
Photography as a practice of observation, as the only act in which one operates and reasons, through an essentially visual and intelligible faculty to construct a narrative repertoire.
Photographing may cause multiple reflections. In the sense of reality, that is, in the direction of the true and the illusory, or also in the direction of time. It gives us a strong opening of the gaze to the daily texture, or it brings us back to a vision of the past. But it can also set a vision for the future.
In addition to its symbolic organization, photography as an entity carries information about the personal and social universe, giving it a knowledge-producing property.
Afotography as a form of re-interpretation of the literature, is transmitted as a process of "connection" with a hidden or implied theme and, to this extent, it is a structure of implicit enunciations.
The photograph refers us to the field of reading, and may be associated with a text, which will assign a complementary meaning to the discourse, connecting the message with the hidden information. We can thus conceive a conjuncture of discourse in which the photographs are based on an involvement with the written and / or spoken word.
To emphasize the specificity of photographic discourse, so that the total task of the photographic language can itself be transparent, and so that it can translate and prove reality and / or fiction, in the aesthetic sense and in a communication system of mediation between us and others.

Program
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC
The capacities and possibilities of photographic representation, in the sense of revelation and enunciation, by the process of assembling fixed photographic images in the direction of a film object;
The photographic sequence as a course in fictional time for conceptual development in narrative construction;
Photography, with play of light and shadow, serves to reconstruct the appearance and meanings of ideas, objects and emotions. It is not limited to rhetoric and / or inventory of things. It reveals what is not written in the condition and in the mediation of an ethical contract with society. The skills of the photographic make evident the creation of new formal typologies.

Creation of symbolic castings from a written text (novel), capable of being constituted in a visual planning, like story-board;
Organization of a resource plan for photographic registration, lighting, props and decors;
Previous study of a literary object capable of being transformed into a photographic narrative;
The word and the photograph appear to us here proposed, to complement through the allusion or intuition, that which is behind the nature of each icon emanated from the photograph, through the points of evidence that it encloses;
Production and development of photographic repertoire in the studio and / or outdoors for later assembly and post-production with narrative continuity.
