- Summary:
- In this essay Lizarazo Arias investigates the relationship between photography, violence, absence and otherness, taking photography as a tool of empathy, or as a device for restitution of the ability to empathize in the face of the pain of others.ʺ others', a device for preserving an active memory and, above all, an instrument capable of taking charge of the collapse of words,ʺ as Rossana Reguillo mentions in the introduction to the essay. In this way, Diego Lizarazo analyzes the asynchronous dialogues between Virginia Woolf, Susan Sontag and Judith Butler about the capacities and scope of photography as an instrument to transmit the pain of others and this is how the author lays the foundations to speak with ease and eloquence about the intimate relationship between the body, time and photography. Using the photographic work of Yael Martínez, Gustavo Germano, Jesús Abad Colorado, Erika Diettes and Lucila Quieto, the essay highlights the heuristic power of photography to represent or presentifyʺ the absence of missing persons in contexts of violence; where photography, in addition to being an instrument of empathy and presentification, acts as a mechanism of memory and justice, thus enabling the aesthetics of return.ʺ The torn body returns: then the hug, the encounter, the smile is possible. With her present smile of hers, she repeats the remote smile of her mother. This harmony of gesture produces the common space: impossible but reliable,ʺ states the author in this essay.
