In order to take up a field study scarcely developed in social psychology, the approach of social representations in a roundabout way of artistic works, the article presents the theoretical basis of a current international research. This research has been dealt in the last International Conference on Social Representation, in Sao Paulo. Its aim is to study the reception and interpretation of a set of three movies (The Qatsi Trilogy) that give a view of the contemporary state of the world due to globalization, using uniquely images and music, without having recourse to narrative nor language. After having examined the contributions that, more and more numerous in social sciences, establish a link between representational processes, social values and artistic forms of expression, the Mimesis model of Ricoeur helps to handle the frame and significance of the Qatsi Trilogy.

Keywords : artistic expression; social representations; social values; mimesis.
