FOTOGRAFIA E FOTOPERFORMANCE: ARTE COMO REPRESENTATIVIDADE E VISIBILIDADE PARA MULHERES LBT

Abstract

This study is based on the analysis and production of works focused on artistic photography and photoperformance within contemporary art and the relationship between these artistic mediums and the LBT community and movement. In this way, the artists Paola Paredes, Berenice Abbott and Catherine Opie were used as aesthetic references. And as theorists regarding black feminism, the theorists Audre Lorde, Grada Kilomba, bell hooks, and Marcia Tiburi were used. The methodology for the construction of knowledge was based on a bibliographical survey and the elaboration of a text about contemporary art, photography, photoperformance, and also, briefly, feminist theory, with the purpose of referencing and producing a basis for the realization of a collective artistic production. The intention was to produce photoperformances with the help of LBT volunteers from Campo Grande, who, using augmented reality, demonstrated how they had to mold themselves to fit into society, and how they really feel represented. The need for artistic production on this topic was due to the opportunity to give a voice to women in the LGBTQIAPN+ community, in addition to using art as a mediation for a debate about feminism and belonging of LBT women.
