Abstract

SANTOYO, Susana. Time and Gaze in Hiroshi Sugimoto and Wolfgang Tillmans' Work. Acta poét [online]. 2013, vol.34, n.1, pp.61-70. ISSN 2448-735X.

This paper discusses some relations between time and technique in photography, in terms of Walter Benjamin and José Luis Brea, but also of the practice itself. From these relations, the paper proposes concepts of time and sight in the photographic act that confront the myth that places it in the role of an instant technique that preserves the past. Hiroshi Sugimoto and Wolfgang Tillmans are examples of these proposed conceptions, as both reflect in the practice on time and technique.
