The notion of fingere in contemporary visual production: strategies for possible worlds through image

ABSTRACT

This article conduces a reflection about recent visual artistic production that questions the borders between reality and fiction. Considering image as a result of a process of manipulation, it aims conceive it as an image-fiction in the transformation of the present by the multiplication of possible worlds. In this sense, it is considered as a result of the fingere and as a way of seizing the real, which questions the memory of our society and reconsider their role and responsibility in building history and collectivities. We conclude that image is a present and active potency to build different ways of living.
